Hands-on satellite design for the next generation
Introducing space engineering education to middle and high school students through real-world CanSat satellite projects.
What is CanSat?
A simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. CanSats offer students their first practical experience of a real space project, combining engineering principles with hands-on learning.
"Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big"
Five-Day Journey
From space fundamentals to launching your own satellite.
The Avakas App
Our own software, built for the CanSat classroom. Lessons, a virtual Arduino IDE, a live ground station and an AI assistant, in one place from the first lesson to launch-day data.
One home for the whole week.
Students pick up exactly where they left off. Training materials, the Arduino IDE and the ground station are one click away, and progress is tracked across the course.
- Training documents, circuit diagrams and a 3D model of the CanSat
- A short quiz closes every document before it counts as complete
- Course progress visible to the student and their instructor
Learning that checks itself
Every training document ends in a quiz, so completion means understanding, not just scrolling to the bottom.
The CanSat in 3D
An interactive model of the full CanSat assembly that students can rotate and inspect before they build it.
Built for instructors
Instructors follow each student's progress and message them directly from their own dashboard.
Run by the school
Separate roles for students, instructors and admins. New problems, quizzes and documents are added in the app, no code required.
