Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Foundation is inviting students to reach for the stars with its new partnership with Space Center Houston.

Through the nonprofit organization, the program enables Houston Independent School District to participate in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-enriched curriculum.

Essential skills will be taught in the program for local students to pursue fields specializing in engineering, design and exploration. Through a mix of virtual and in-person workshops at Cact.Us Design Center TXRX Labs, participants will look into real-world challenges such as water scarcity, space habitation and power generation and discuss solutions.

Students will also have the opportunity to collaborate with NASA engineers to form teams that focus on design sketching, modeling, systems thinking and fabrication.

The program will conclude on Dec. 19, when student presentations for engineered designs will be held at Space Center Houston. Scott will co-host the event alongside industry professionals.

"Opportunities like this are being offered to help enrich our students' lives and inspire them to pursue careers in fields where they can not only thrive but also bring back solutions to their communities," stated Scott.

In other Travis Scott news, the rapper and Cactus Plant Flea Market both marked key anniversaries this year, and they’re celebrating by embarking on a deep-dive into the archives.

Rodeo, Scott’s debut studio album, turned 10 years young this month. The album, which has since been certified 2x platinum by the RIAA, featured the still-in-rotation singles "Antidote" and "3500."

2015 also saw the launch of Cactus Plant Flea Market, a brand that has been a mainstay in the larger Scott universe over the past 10 years. To commemorate the decade mark, CPFM is nodding to some of its most omnipresent designs in a celebratory collection. Also featured is a new design referencing a key track off Rodeo, "Piss on Your Grave."
