Launch Your Space Career
Space is on its way to becoming a trillion-dollar industry. In two weeks, you’ll train on a real space flight simulator, earn a certificate, and walk away with an experience most college applicants couldn’t even dream of.
College and internship applications all look the same. Yours won’t.
Real professional experience
Thousands of applicants have good grades and a coding club. Almost none have trained on a real space flight simulator — with a certificate to prove it. That’s a college essay, an internship interview answer, and a resume line that gets remembered.
The experience colleges look for
Learn directly from a founder who turned an idea into a real space company. Taking a project from idea to launch is exactly the kind of experience that college and internship applications are screened for.
A head start on a real career
No videos, no worksheets. You launch your project into a real space flight simulator and defend it against cyber attacks and space weather — building skills and confidence that carry into college, internships, and first jobs.
Two weeks, foundations to deployment.
The same arc SylLab uses to bring university teams from zero to a working deployment — condensed into two focused weeks.

What working with SylLab actually looks like.
Former SylLab interns landed positions at NASA, EY, Micron, Lockheed Martin, Navy Federal Credit Union, MITRE, and Trident Systems, entered masters programs at Purdue University, and honors masters programs at George Mason University.
My experience at SylLab was the first time I did work that felt real. I wasn’t just watching tutorials or doing busy work. I did real work that had greater impacts. I previously had interned at NASA which was great, however it was busy work.
At SylLab I used a real engineering process to take a project from concept to a working result on their simulator. When I interviewed at EY, that experience gave me something concrete to talk about that no one else in the room had. Now I am at EY one of the world’s top global firms.
At SylLab I worked on helping develop an algorithmic based audit system tied to government frameworks. This helped me understand the working world better in ways I couldn’t.
Tech Risk at EY (Ernst & Young)
I interned at SylLab twice. I helped build and integrate a hardware validation system into their space testbed, which tests whether a satellite can withstand physical stress before it’s sent into orbit. The system goes through the same review cycles a real engineering team uses.
I also represented the company at a national space conference and started a research collaboration with a professor at my university. Both times I was handed work that mattered, not busy work. When I interviewed with Micron, I had something concrete to talk about.
My time at SylLab transformed how I think about cybersecurity in a world facing emerging quantum threats. My main project was prototyping a quantum-resilient software delivery system, which meant hands-on code reviews, technical demonstrations, and a lot of learning.
The knowledge and practical experience I gained at SylLab prepared me for my current career working with embedded space systems.
Space Electronic Systems at Trident Systems
SylLab treated me like an engineer from day one. I was implementing and testing post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, work that actually fed into decisions the team was making. Understanding it well enough to write about it and present it to the team meant thinking the way the engineers around me did.
I walked into my second year at University of Virginia already knowing what real technical work feels like, and that confidence carried through every internship and job I’ve had.

Learn from an entrepreneur in the space industry.
Bart Slowik is the founder and CEO of SylLab Systems, a space cybersecurity company he has built over the past six years. He holds the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) credential — the gold standard in cybersecurity certification — along with DoD 8570.01 IAT/IAM Level III certification and cybersecurity training from MIT CSAIL (Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory). He has been working with the U.S. Space Force and Air Force community and partners with researchers at George Mason University and UT Dallas on space systems research. Bart brings a hands-on, learning-by-doing approach that turns concepts into practice, giving students real experience on a space flight simulator built for validating satellite software.

Built by a real space cybersecurity company.
SylLab Systems protects satellites from cyber threats and helps detect failures before they happen in orbit. In STAR Academy, students train on a space flight simulator built by SylLab to validate satellite software against real-world cyber and space weather conditions. Funding comes from the Texas Space Commission.
