AI in Aerospace Lesson Plans

Students will be introduced to different types of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, including those used to operate space-based platforms (such as satellites). Students will then learn about jobs relating to the building and continuous improvement of machine learning tools. Throughout this lesson, students will be engaged in mini activities, which include learning about coding, solving problems, and working in teams to build communication skills. At the end of the lesson plan, students will play an interactive game to save the world!

CubeSat Mission Brief Teaching Aids

In this two-part lesson plan, students will research human impacts on the planet and design a CubeSat to monitor a specific example. Throughout the project, key skills including critical thinking, communication, and collaboration will be used to understand the true value of space.

Falling Stars Teaching Aids

Learn about the lifecycle of satellites and the Falling Stars probes.

In this lesson plan, students discover how these satellites are affected by the orbit, velocity, altitude, and density of the atmosphere and how scientists and engineers work together using critical thinking, data, scientific modeling, and inquiry to engineer satellites.

Tardigrade Teaching Aids

Give your students an opportunity to play astrobiologist! In this lesson, they'll use the experimental science process to investigate the effect of temperature, hydration, or space vacuum on the mighty tardigrade.
