Maine Space STEM Program

What does this entail?
MaxIQ Space has customised their international K-12 Space STEM program specifically for Maine. Delivery includes virtual teacher and facilitator training, curriculum and challenges relating STEM, space and sustainability, modular electronics kits, workshops and support sessions.

Modular electronics kits:
Schools and groups get to keep with kits as they can be fully re-used. These kits are IoT enabled, connect to a data dashboard, and support topics such as data science, coding, big data, and internet of things.
Each group will receive:

• Bundle of ten Space STEM kits 
• Two advanced add-on kits with additional sensors
• TinyGS kit to build a ground station to retrieve satellite data
• bluShift flight kit for integration into the bluShift payload bay for engine tests and suborbital launches

If your group is larger than twenty students then we suggest you add on bundles of Space STEM kits.

Support content:
As Educators are pressed for time, MaxIQ Space will be providing support from trained facilitators and easy to use teacher support materials.

• Topics to be covered are listed on this page
• Challenges relating to the topics are outlined on this page

(Examples can be found on this page, all content will be securely provided using Canvas LMS).

What's included?
The cost of participation includes all kits outlined above as well as the course material, workshops and support. In addition, your group will be hosted for a tour of bluShift Aerospace in Brunswick and will participate in an engine test experiment using the same kits.
It does not include travel costs for site visits, in person training, or rocket launches.
