Let's Go To Space Shawna L Christenson

Space is no longer a final frontier accessible only to astronauts, nations, and corporations. By using CubeSats as a disruptive educational tool, educators and their student teams can employ BLUE-SKY Learning principles to achieve ridiculous goals. This guide will help you get excited about "going to space" and offer tips on how to build a team, how to plan a proposal, and assist you and your students to create "out of this world" experiences. Content in this book is ideal for middle and high school teachers who are interested in inspiring their students through authentic aerospace project based learning and the potential to build near-space experimental payloads (e.g. high altitude balloons) and real spacecraft supported by NASA.
