Group Activity

Following the presentations, the students were divided into ten teams. The teams were all given questions to consider about mission design. The purpose of the questions -- and ultimately, the entire workshop -- was to make the students think critically about what is required to build and fly a CubeSat and to give them the confidence to do it.

The following questions were considered:

1. What is the objective of your CubeSat?
2. What obstacles to success do you see?
3. What is the first action you take in your project?
4. What support do you need?
