IHS Holding Limited, one of the largest independent owners, operators, and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world by tower count, has Sunday announced a one-year partnership with the Limitless Space Institute (LSI), a non-profit education and research organization.
This partnership will commence in January 2024 and is designed to help broaden access to space education in our two largest markets
Through this collaboration, 20 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators from Brazil and Nigeria will be invited to join the 12-month Limitless Global Educator Program and access a carefully curated
space education curriculum.
Delivered by experts from the Limitless Space Institute, educators will benefit from monthly virtual workshops with insights from guest speakers on space exploration and science, an invitation to attend the LSI Summer Institute in Houston, Texas, for one week and in-person visits from Limitless Space Institute representatives to Brazil and Nigeria for hands-on workshops.
The selected educators will be enrolled in the Limitless Global Educator Program and have access to tailored content in the Space Education Curriculum developed by the experts from the Limitless Space Institute.
This curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including the significance of space exploration, the science underpinning space, its history, the economics of space, as well as sustainable exploration and space ethics.
Through this program, teachers will be better equipped to inspire their students and new generations about the wonders and intricacies of space.
Applications open November 1st, 2023, via the Limitless Space Institute website, https://www.limitlessspace.org/global-educators/, and will close on December 6th, 2023.
Sam Darwish, Chairman & CEO, IHS Towers, said “I am incredibly excited to announce our partnership with the Limitless Space Institute as we seek to continue strengthening education opportunities with a particular focus on
increasing access to STEM subjects. Engineering excellence is IHS’ lifeblood, and we could not be prouder to support the Limitless Space Institute’s mission to equip educators globally with the resources and experiences they need to
teach science and technology. We hope that by partnering with the Limitless Space Institute we can contribute to bringing this exciting specialization to educators in Brazil and Nigeria, empowering them to spark a passion among
their students on the wonders of engineering and space exploration.”
Kaci Heins, Director of the Limitless Space Institute, commented “We are thrilled to collaborate with IHS Towers in our pursuit to elevate global STEM education. Our mission is not just to educate, but to inspire the next generation
