Since 2010, the Quest Institute for Quality Education has launched over 100 student-designed experiments investigating topics such as plant health, bacterial growth, ant behavior, radiation effects, and even metal plating. Quest for Space combines the disciplines of software programming, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, project management, and teamwork — in ways that are fun and accessible to students as young as elementary school!

Quest Lab: Level 3 (this program) is the most advanced type of student project offered by Quest for Space. With the help of technical mentors, students design and build custom hardware that fits in a mini-laboratory to be launched to the space station.

  • Custom experiment platform
  • Self-paced development
  • For Ages 14+
  • hardware built, flight-certified and launched to ISS

Quest offers two other levels, listed below
