Created By Educators
BLUECUBE Aerospace seeks to Build, Launch, Utilize, and Educate using CubeSat technology with student teams, middle school and high school ages. BLUECUBE Aerospace engages students, teachers and makers through its CubeSat emulator kits, camps, and workshops.
Just as scientific research reflects a new era of multidisciplinary studies, so should the preparation of students reflect crosscutting experiences, knowledge and critical thinking skills through the establishment of a national network of geographically represented instructional nodes.
BLUECUBE Aerospace works with educators and students to experience authentic science, conduct relevant research, and acquire marketable skills for the 21st Century workforce. Research shows that students are better engaged by hands-on instruction and learn through experience. Project-based learning and systems engineering allow students to apply the scientific and engineering methods to real-world problem-solving.
BLUECUBE Aerospace Mission
-
Inspire middle school and high school students
-
Equip educators to build, launch, utilize and educate with CubeSats
-
Prepare the next generation
-
Create a competitive diverse and technical 21st century American workforce
The idea for the BLUECUBE concept was conceived in
2010 by Kevin Simmons and John D. Moore after meeting at the National Science Foundation.
Both were 2009-2011 Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows, with Kevin serving in the Engineering Directorate and John in the Geosciences Directorate.
Later Simmons and Einstein Fellow Michael Piccone further developed the BLUECUBE model with Piccione prototyping the first BLUECUBE 1U CubeSat emulators.
With the emergence of the CubeSat (a nanosatellite class of spacecraft) as a dynamic, teaching tool, the opportunity now existed to inspire a new generation of STEM focused Americans.
To better provide real-world aerospace opportunities for students and educators, Simmons also created the 501(c)3 Wolfpack CubeSat Development Team, the Aerospace and Innovation Academy, and the SmallSat Education Conference.
