STEM – Space technology is changing so quickly: Are your students ready to become SPACE entrepreneurs?
Since the Space Laws in Australia are being reviewed, global interest is outpacing our local level of curiosity. This year (2017) about 4000 STEM industry and business people, including astronauts from around the world are coming to Adelaide to learn more about innovation and the advancement of space technologies.
How might you become an entrepreneur in the space industry?
How will nano-satellites revolutionise collecting big data on the Earth? How could they be used to forecast weather more accurately? How could they be used to provide information to manage our resources and protect our environment?
What is a nano-satellite?
What are they made of? How could you design one? How might you use 3D printing to make them? How might you launch a nano-satellite? Do you know how to code a nano-satellite to enable it to remain in space? Do they have a used by date? Could you make them to decay or burn up on reentry to the Earth once they have finished their mission?
Will nano-satellites add to our massive space junk problem that we currently have?
What other things would we need to consider to launch a nano-satellite?
What are some other possible uses of nano-satellites? How might they affect society?
What do you predict might be possible in the future, say in 2030?
What role would you like to play in setting up a space agency in Australia? A scientist, mathematician, engineer, computer programmer, designer, astronaut, technician, communicator, collaborator, project manager, rewilder, space miner, robot counsellor,…,

Year 7 Australian Curriculum: Science as a Human Endeavour and Earth and Space Sciences
Scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and is refined as new evidence becomes available, such as, investigating how advances in telescopes and space probes have provided new evidence about space.
