💬 From the Project Manager

Ms. Rangsima Thongpunchung, Project Manager of GSLP2025, stated:

“GSLP2025 is not merely a space education platform—it is a transformative initiative preparing youth for the future. Through integrative learning in STEM, AI, leadership, and global citizenship guided by international experts, we aim to empower young learners to become tomorrow’s changemakers.”


💬 From the Chairperson

Dr. Aphinita Chaichana, Chairperson of GSLP2025, commented:

“I express my sincere gratitude to all partners who made GSLP2025 possible. Each collaboration added meaningful depth and sustainability to our mission.

We believe that ‘the world cannot change unless we transform access to opportunity for all.’

Space education should be a door open to every child’s dreams, not a privilege reserved for a few.

While rockets launch us to the stars, equitable access to education propels humanity toward a brighter future. Today, we recommit to enhancing policy, developing curriculum, training teachers, and extending access to remote regions—creating a sustainable ecosystem for learning across Thailand.”


🚀 Launching the Era of Equal Opportunity

GSLP2025 is more than a program—it is a catalyst inspiring youth to dream beyond the skies and believe in their potential. This initiative embodies the vision that:

“A better future is one that is accessible to everyone.”
