BRINGING THE MAGIC OF
S. T. E. A. M
TO MEDIA
ABOUT AD ASTRA MEDIA
Ad Astra seeks to renew a faith in facts and reason and uplift underserved and minority communities by providing them with scientific role models in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) to which they can aspire.
Ad Astra is composed of individuals with experience at all levels of media (T.V. and commercial) production and extends into both traditional television (Spanish and English networks) and into leading streaming services and film studios. We have memorandums of understanding with digital animation studios supported by the Space Foundation and who have worked with Disney and Pixar.
Our Founder and CEO Dr. Jose Morey is considered the first Intergalactic Doctor and formed Ad Astra Media to combine education and entertainment to better connect with the World's future Einsteins. We feel that by providing younger generations with the knowledge and excitement about S.T.E.A.M. and role models for them to aspire to will show an increased number of people pursuing these careers starting as soon as 10 years time.
We are currently partnered with several organizations in creating bilingual edutainment content. We aim to make this content available to underserved communities to help reduce inequalities and show an increased number of students being interested in STEAM and it's possibilities. With help we can make Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math inspiring for all students and start encouraging our future Einstein’s from all walks of life.

Too Small
To Fail
"Too Small to Fail" and Univision jointly operate the country’s largest Spanish-language text messaging program for parents of young children (0-5). Over 145,000 parents have joined the service since we launched in 2015. We deliver 3x messages per week to over 52,000 active subscribers who are currently enrolled in the program.
Ad Astra Media has partnered with Clinton Foundation and Univision to program two weeks worth of messages for 2020. This will offer easy tips and activity ideas that encourage early interest in STEM.
