The ask
Put your name on the next generation.
Stardust 2026 runs from Monday 2 to Friday 6 November, free and streamed worldwide, with the Stardust 2026 team on the road in the Seattle area. It is the finale of the Stardust Challenge. Club for the Future, Blue Origin's foundation, is the main event sponsor. There is room beside them.
Counted 22 October 2026 from the live database. 100,000+ students inspired through outreach, not signed-up members.

The mentored tier . for a sponsor who wants depth with a small number of young people rather than reach.
Any number works. These are the shapes sponsors usually ask for. Multi-year and a named Challenge category are both possible.
How it works
01You commit how many places, at which tier. We invoice.
02We award them. We never ask a young person to prove hardship.
03They use Odyssey: courses, the Challenge, live sessions.
04You get a live report. One link, no login, ready to forward.
This is not theoretical
Club for the Future funded USD 10,000 of Stardust. It paid for the platform young people learn on, a booth at IAC, school visits, and an Egyptian school board of more than 30,000 students onto Odyssey. Their programme report is a live page that updates itself.
