| Learn about the causes of the northern lights (solar flares and their effect son Earth's magnetic fields), and about Ex-Alta 1, our satellite which studied these properties. | ... Draw the northern lights with watercolour pencils. | | |
| Learn about all the planets in our solar system and about the satellites we have built. | ... Construct a planetary mobile using modelling clay, string, and sticks. | | |
| Learn about all the essential components of a cube satellite. | ... Design their own satellite with a unique payload and draw it on Engineering paper. They will then be able to pitch their design to our members who will be role-playing as a Canadian Space Agency Funding committee. | | |
| Learn about our cube satellite structure which was designed and built in-house and named Icarus after the Greek God who flew too close to the sun. | ... Work in small teams to build their own cube satellite structure using given materials and then stress test the frame, mimicking the process our own student team uses. | | |
| Learn about all the essential components of a cube satellite. | ... Fold and glue a 2D shape into a rectangular prism, then use a variety of materials to construct their model. They will then be able to pitch their design to our members who will be role-playing as a Canadian Space Agency Funding committee. | | |
| Learn about the basics of an electrical circuit and get introduced to all the electronics inside our cube satellites. | ... Create a work of art using markers and pencil crayons which incorporates an LED. The backside of their page will have a working circuit deposited using glue and foil to act as a pseudo-PCB. | | |
| Learn about our second satellite, Ex-Alta 2, which will be taking images of the Earth to be used for wildfire sciences. Students will learn about many wildfire properties and how they affect society. | ... Perform an analysis as wildfire scientists on hypothetical compiled data from our second satellite, Ex-Alta 2. | | |
| Learn the basics of logic statements and coding as well as their applications within our satellite. | ... Create a playable asteroid game using the Scratch coding language. | | |
| Learn about all the technical subsystems within our satellites. | ... Design a cube satellite to scale using drafting techniques with views of all the sides and the inside. | | |
3D modelling with AlbertaSat | Learn about the applications that 3D modelling has for space scientists and engineers. | ... Create a model rocket design using the TinkerCAD program. | | |
| Learn how satellites create power, and how to prototype electronic circuits. | ... Using a breadboard, create several solar circuits with increasing complexity. | | |
| For grades 10-12 we are happy to work with you to cater sessions specifically for your needs. | In the past we have taught programming in C and Python; 3D modelling in SolidWorks; wildfire sciences and optics; and provided in-depth lessons about our satellites' subsystems. | | |
