KidSat

The KidSat project seeks to make educational history by providing K-12 students access to real time images of the Earth from their own observing instruments in space, and incorporating these images into the full range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary study. The authors´ vision is to capture the interest of all children by placing these instruments on the piloted space platforms and giving young people their own piece of the space program. This vision is being realized through the collaboration of three primary organizations: The California Institute of Technology´s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, The University of California-San Diego´s California Space Institute, and The Johns Hopkins University´s Institute for Academic Advancement of Youth
