Cubes In Space - INFO SESSION 10 AM

About this event

Choose ONE of four free Info Sessions on Oct 26, Nov 2, 9, and 16 where students and parents can learn more about this workshop. Attending one of the info sessions is required for joining the Cubes In Space team.

A specialized activity of NE SciTech's Space Science Club, specifically for students ages 11-17, we join a program by iEDU called Cubes in Space (CIS) to teach students about the atmosphere, rocketry, high-altitude balloons, general laws of physics, radio communications, satellites, and space science. Students work in teams to design and propose experiments that might be accepted to launch into a near space environment on a NASA sounding rocket and zero-pressure scientific balloon. Students then submit their proposals, and if accepted, fabricate and fly their projects in June. After the flight they will evaluate their projects and give a report at a conference in Marlborough in August. Students will be expected to achieve an Amateur Radio License (beginner level) during this program.
