A Terra Linda High School alum working in STEM presents about his career path. With Ben Foehr (TLHS 2018)
Right now, we’re at the dawn of a new space age. As humanity prepares to return to the moon and beyond, one might ask: how can I be a part of this? Join Ben Foehr, BS in Aerospace Engineering and former graduate student studying Human Spaceflight at Colorado University at Boulder, for a look into the twists and turns this journey has in store, and, more importantly, how we can reach the stars!
Ben Foehr grew up in San Rafael, graduating TL in 2018. As a student he was a sprinter on the track team, a lawyer for TL’s mock trial team, and an intern for the Marin Science Seminar. In 2022 he graduated CU Boulder with a bachelors in Aerospace Engineering, and is currently studying there for his masters in BioAstronautics. He has worked on Cubesats, Sounding Rockets, and proprioceptive function research for astronauts. Currently he works at Blue Origin/Honeybee Robotics, focusing on life testing for motion control systems.
