Pilot Program

The Angani CubeSat Kit

A natural next step after robotics — students go from building machines on the ground to understanding how satellites work in space. The Angani Kit is a classroom satellite model paired with a real ground station, letting students experience how data travels between Earth and orbit.

What's in the Kit

The Angani Kit is a two-part system: a miniature satellite model and a ground station. Together, they simulate how real satellites collect data and communicate with Earth. Everything snaps together — no tools required.

How It Works

The Satellite

A hands-on CubeSat model that students assemble themselves. It carries sensors that measure temperature, light, motion, orientation, altitude, and location — just like a real satellite collecting data about its environment.

The Ground Station

The communication bridge between the satellite and students. It receives data wirelessly from the CubeSat — showing students in real time how information travels from space to Earth. It can also communicate with actual satellites passing overhead.


The Pilot Workshop

The Space Education Program is delivered as a short, focused workshop. It's designed to fit into your school schedule without disrupting existing classes — and to give you a clear picture of what a full-year implementation would look like.

1

Understanding Satellites

Students explore what satellites are, why they exist, and how they help us every day — from weather forecasting to navigation. No technical background needed.

2

Assembling the CubeSat

Working in small teams, students build the Angani CubeSat from its modular components. They see how a satellite is structured and what each subsystem does.

3

Collecting Data

The assembled CubeSat begins collecting environmental data — temperature, light, orientation, position. Students observe how a satellite "sees" the world around it.

4

Communicating with the Ground

Using the ground station, students receive data from their CubeSat wirelessly. They experience how information travels between orbit and Earth — the same principle used by real space missions.

5

Discussion & Reflection

Teams present what they observed, discuss how space technology connects to real-world challenges — climate, agriculture, urban planning — and reflect on what they'd explore further.

Why a pilot first?

The pilot helps your school evaluate whether the full Space Education Program is the right fit — how students engage, how it fits your timetable, and what a longer implementation could look like. It also helps us refine the program based on real classroom feedback before rolling out the full curriculum.
