Hello Mona and everyone,

I came across this brief comment and thought it was really interesting - we didn't have such when I was at school, just as we didn't grow food gardens ... but today kids of any age can catch up!

Schoolkids have a new science classroom — in space!

Ardusat is a startup dedicated to enabling young scientists to conduct data experiments in space.

29 May 2015
Of all the topics covered in school science classes, space is understandably one of the more elusive. That might be set to change though, as a new educational startup called Ardusat have dedicated themselves to enabling promising young scientists to conduct actual space experiments.

Ardusat has partnered with satellite data company Spire to enable school kids and science club members to send ‘educational payloads’ up with every satellite, containing experiments of their choice.

Ardusat sell a variety of tool-kits, including the Classroom Launch Pack for educational programs. Costing USD 2,500, it gives teachers or club leaders everything they need to conduct experiments in the classroom or create prototype space experiments.

All experiments revolve around data collection rather than physical trials and each Space Kit contains various sensors found on real Spire satellites, as well as all the basic electronic components needed.

The Ardusat website also hosts a vast number of resources and video tutorials to inspire and educate users.

Ardusat recently launched their second annual AstroSat challenge, which saw 15 winning teams conducting experiments in space using a high-altitude balloon.

Anyone interested just put in the 'dots' for the website address above.

Lestie, thank you for this. It's a wonderful development and I'll watch with interest to see what comes of it. I know that there have been some instances of using space experiments in schools, but I haven't seen a dedicated satellite and teaching program before. I've put it on my list of things to write about.
