"By using a STELLA instrument, students can gain an entry point for understanding remote sensing.... The STELLA versions 1, 2, and Q help students to learn to think spectroscopically about the world around them, both in the visible and in the invisible wavelengths."

“The ability to hold the instrument in your hand and make those measurements yourselves makes STELLA valuable."

"By making measurements themselves, using inexpensive, low precision instruments of modest accuracy, students can gain an appreciation of the significance of measurements made by the sophisticated, high-accuracy, high precision Earth-observing missions. Early experience making their own observations can help inspire and equip people who may become the next generation of scientists and engineers."

"An authentic STEM experience."
