SPACE EDUCATIONENRICHMENT PROGRAM
CANSAT: HANDS-ON SATELLITE DESIGN
A comprehensive six-day summer training program that introduces space engineering education to middle and high school students through the exciting CanSat program.
"Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big"
ABOUT US
We are a Pennsylvania-based educational enterprise named Avakas, derived from the Khmer term for "space." Our primary objective is to deliver comprehensive training programs that offer insights into the realm of space and engineering.
What is CanSat?
A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. CanSats offer a unique opportunity for students to have a first practical experience of a real space project.
LEARNING GOALS
Our six-day program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of space engineering and hands-on experience with satellite design.
Space Environment
Participants will be able to elaborate on and present information about the space environment.
Satellite Research
Research about famous satellites and its application.
Mission Objectives
Define their own mission objectives.
Micro-controllers & Sensors
Demonstrate understanding in micro-controller (Arduino) & applications of each sensor on CanSat.
Programming & Assembly
Programming Arduino to work with sensors and assembling their own CanSat.
Presentation & Launch
Presenting ideas as a group effectively and preparing for the CanSat launch.
MISSION AND VISION
Our mission is to introduce space engineering education to middle and high school students who are fascinated by space and interested in pursuing careers in space or engineering as a whole. We aim to provide them with a solid foundation through our CanSat program.
Our Proposed Program
- Objective: Offers conceptual and practical skills in space engineering, problem-solving through coding, and hands-on CanSat assembling.
- Who will teach: Students will be taught and mentored by trained facilitators who are technology practitioners and academics.
- What we teach: Exploring elementary concepts and the process of constructing a can-sized satellite through experimental and project-based learning.
