Cubes in Space is a global STEM education program offered by iEDU in collaboration with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center - Wallops Flight Facility and NASA's Langley Research Center and in partnership with SSAI.
Our program provides the opportunity for students, ages 11-18, the opportunity to engage in science and research by designing and proposing experiments to the Cubes in Space program. If the experiment concepts are selected, students build their experiments to find inside a ~4x4x4 cm plastic container. These experiments are launched on a sounding rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Experiments are also launched to near space on a large scale, high altitude balloon from NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility - Ft. Sumner, New Mexico location.
Educators deliver the program and teach students about suborbital science science and engineering concepts through an integrative STEAM-learning approach.
We are excited to fly this experiment again this summer for the students to repeat the testing to determine if they can receive repeatable results.
