The Moonshot School: Building a System That Thinks 10X, Not 10%

Session Summary:

What education must borrow from Space Exploration and the AI Co-Pilot Mindset

 

Most education systems aim to improve by 10%. But in the world of space exploration, that mindset is a liability. NASA doesn’t invest in minor upgrades—it commits to moonshots. And in today’s AI-powered world, the real challenge isn’t just using smart tools—it’s thinking like a mission commander, with AI as your co-pilot, not your replacement.

 

In this visionary keynote, you’ll discover how HASSE Space School and its signature IGNIS Framework are transforming the way students, educators, and entire school systems think, learn, and lead.

 

With over 20 years of global impact across 20+ countries, and with tens of thousands of students inspired—many now thriving at NASA, SpaceX, top universities, and enterprise innovation labs—this approach redefines what’s possible in education.

 

You’ll learn how to shift from linear improvement to 10X transformation, using proven space protocols, failure rehearsal, and AI collaboration strategies to create schools that don’t just prepare for the future—but launch it.
