Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation Launches STEM Program with Space Center Houston

Travis Scott is teaming up with Space Center Houston, the Official Visitor Center of NASA Johnson Space Center—to launch a hands-on STEM program for Houston-area students interested in engineering, design, and space exploration.

The initiative, which began Oct. 11, combines virtual sessions with in-person Saturday workshops at the Cact.Us Design Center–TXRX Labs, a nonprofit makerspace. Students will work alongside NASA engineers to learn the full engineering cycle, brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and refining—while building solutions to real-world challenges.

“Opportunities like this help enrich our students’ lives and inspire them to pursue careers where they can thrive and bring back solutions to their communities,” Travis Scott said in a statement.

Jordan Webster, director of education partnerships for the Cactus Jack Foundation, called the collaboration a “lifelong dream” for the Webster family. “Through the Cactus Jack Foundation, our mission is to open new educational pathways so youth can accelerate in STEM and see themselves as the innovators and explorers of tomorrow,” Webster said, adding that the partnership is “just the beginning” of projects with Space Center Houston.

“Partnering with Space Center Houston is truly a lifelong dream for Travis and the Webster family,” said Jordan Webster, director of education partnerships for the Cactus Jack Foundation. “We have always been inspired by NASA.

Through the Cactus Jack Foundation, our mission is to open new educational pathways for youth so they can accelerate in STEM and see themselves as the innovators and explorers of tomorrow.

This is just the beginning of what’s to come with Space Center Houston, and we couldn’t be more excited to build a future where our kids can dream bigger than ever before.”

Curriculum highlights include design sketching, CAD modeling, systems thinking, and fabrication. Participants will build low-, medium-, and high-fidelity prototypes using advanced digital design tools, 3D printing, and state-of-the-art fabrication equipment.

The program will culminate Dec. 19 with a final showcase at Space Center Houston, where students will present their designs to industry professionals, and to Travis Scott.
