Every year, our students, guided by their Design teachers, surprise us by going #AStepBeyond in their projects. This time, in cooperation with Y4 students, our Y10 space engineers are developing Cubesats equipped with a Raspberry Pi, a camera, and a BMP280 sensor to measure atmospheric pressure, temperature, and altitude changes. In this first step, our Year 4 students calculated the necessary helium for liftoff. We couldn't be prouder of everyone involved!
🌟 Sky's Not the Limit: Our Students' Journey to the Edge of Near Space! 🌌 What a remarkable day for our future space engineers! Our Year 10 students have truly outdone themselves, developing Cubesats equipped with a Raspberry Pi, a camera, and a BMP280 sensor to measure atmospheric pressure, temperature, and altitude changes. Swipe to see the joy and determination as our Year 4 students calculated the necessary helium for liftoff. Their contributions were crucial in fine-tuning our retrieval system, ensuring a safe flight over Barcelona's skies. 🎈 Key Highlights: Hands-On Experience: Students taking the lead in a real-world engineering challenge. Tech Specs: A peek into the technology onboard - Raspberry Pi, sensors, and more. Collaboration: An inspiring collaboration between our young innovators, learning and growing together. Mission Goal: This test is a stepping stone to our next grand venture - sending a High Altitude Balloon with the cubesats into the stratosphere! Data: 224 meters (Highest Altitude) , 1009.13 Hpa (Lowest pressure) & 18.4 ºC ( Lowest temperature ) #STEMEducation #FutureEngineers #Cubesat #StPetersSpaceProgramme #Innovation #StPetersbcn Sara Sabljak
