There is something very powerful about being the person you needed when you started your aerospace journey. If you have technical, organizational, or leadership experience and want to put it at the service of all-women teams taking their first steps in rocketry, this call is for you.

ACMA is looking for mentors to guide all-women teams during their preparation for and participation in the Colombian Sport Rocketry Competition (CCCD) 2026. You don’t need to be a rocket expert—you need to want to guide others.

What you get as an ACMA mentor:

  • Official certificate of participation
  • Institutional recognition for your impact
