Program Overview

Reach for the sky in the European capital of air and space industries.

Explore air and space engineering in the vibrant cradle of future technologies, Toulouse. Feast your earthbound eyes on supersonic airliners, rockets, and space stations. Get insights from engineers on how to address global challenges, like sustainable transportation or the energy crisis, through engineering. Work with other Global Navigators to define a real-world problem and design a solution. Then, put your solutions to the test modeling them in computer simulations!

Through expert instruction and exclusive tours of cutting-edge facilities, enter the cockpits of the industry. Get inspired to become an astronaut, aerospace engineer, or astronomer, and discover where your love of flight can take you. Meet local teens pursuing careers in aerospace.

In La Ville Rose—“the pink city,” as Toulouse is known due to the color of its buildings—get a taste of southern France, its food, and its culture. Excursions take you to Carcassonne, a medieval fortified city and World Heritage site, to the natural park of Haut Languedoc for hiking through the French countryside, and more.

Building rockets and parachutes!

It's an amazing experience, and also fun. It lets you interact with the culture of other countries and also meet new people who are very nice and welcoming. I loved building a rocket with my friends that went at least 500 meters and deploying a pretty good parachute.
