Students will be introduced to different types of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, including those used to operate space-based platforms (such as satellites).
Students will investigate robotics and satellites with a hands-on activity: navigating through a maze as a satellite while using commands from a robot.

What do cell phones and GPS have in common? They both require satellite communication to work! Check out this video explaining how ground to space based communication works through the use of satellites.
Follow along as Jeff Lang teaches you how to assemble a CubiKit using items available for purchase online. The CubiKit is a hands-on STEM activity kit that provides students with an opportunity to become familiar with CubeSat communications, systems, and movement.
Students will learn how CubeSats are programmed to orient themselves in space through a hands-on activity. Students will learn the basics of coding through a team simulation.
In this lesson, students will explore how a CubeSat positions itself in space through an interactive activity. Students will participate in an activity which demonstrates the use of transmissions to and from satellite components.
Students will begin the lesson by watching an entry event video. The video engages students with the challenges a growing human population is causing on our planet and the need to further investigate human impacts on the environment.
Students will continue their planning and design of a CubeSat prototype and corresponding project proposal to The Aerospace Corporation. They previously selected a human impact to study and learned how CubeSats can be used to collect data on their selected human impact.
