The programme will be virtual, with each student receiving a STEM kit and engaging in virtual workshops delivered by space education specialists.
Satellite operator Intelsat has launched the second year of its MaxIQ Space (formerly Xinabox) Space STEM programme for 30 new students.
In the second year, Intelsat has now expanded the programme to include students from all over the continent including South Africa, Rwanda, Nigeria, Egypt, and Uganda.
This programme involves students in designing, building and launching satellites into space. This opportunity is entirely virtual, with each student receiving a STEM kit and engaging in virtual workshops delivered by space education specialists.
Mission 1 of the programme begins once students receive their modular electronics Space STEM kits. Students will then be guided via virtual STEM teachers through 10 workshops spanning four months.
