IGNIS Mission in Action: STEM @ Al Ameen College
Al Ameen College students reach for the stars!
Recently, a group of our students were invited to take part in real-world research through the IGNIS Collaborative Study, in partnership with Edith Cowan University and NASA.
The IGNIS Mission is a joint initiative between Australian universities and NASA, focused on understanding how lightning strikes can trigger bushfires.
Students from Years 7 to 11 across Western Australia were selected for this prestigious internship program, which will unfold across three stages:
- An airborne survey of Southwest WA
- The launch of a 12U satellite to track thermal and lightning patterns
- A deep-space mission to advance global research
We’re incredibly proud of our young researchers and look forward to witnessing their future impact.
