The Lander Challenge
Collegiate teams design, build, and fly self-landing rockets — live propulsion, working avionics, actual flight. Prizes across five technical milestones.
Ambitious, hands-on education. We're starting with engineering.
From the Lander Challenge.
"Science is about knowing. Engineering is about doing."
Today, that work is in engineering. We expect that to expand.

An eight-week summer build program in Los Angeles. High schoolers design, build, and race autonomous off-road robotics alongside professional engineers.
Definity Education was founded by Patrick Finley, Head of Special Projects at Reflect Orbital. Day-to-day operations are run by a small team. Our advisors are working engineers, founders, and researchers — people building things in the field, not just teaching them.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in Georgia and currently based in Los Angeles, California. Our long-term ambition is to build physical schools — institutions built around meaningful work — globally.
