The flagship experience of the fellowship is a week-long space camp at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas - at space camp fellows will have the opportunity to explore what life is like in mission control and as an astronaut while getting to know their fellow fellows. Following space camp, the TCS Fellowship provides one-on-one mentoring with an industry mentor who will work with the fellow to help explore careers in aerospace and develop the fellow’s skills. All mentoring is personalized based on the fellow’s interests. Additionally, the fellows will participate in collaborative workshops by industry professionals, astronauts, and scientists. The TCS fellowship will also provide access to SAT/ACT prep, and assistance with college application fees [is this confirmed].
