About this Event
Curious about how satellites actually work? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the basics of satellite engineering through an interactive build activity. Learn how CAD, wiring, and simple code come together to make a satellite function, and design low-complexity prototypes using Onshape. No prior experience is required, and code is provided and can be explored or modified. In the end, you’ll have built and tested a simple satellite system while experiencing what truly defines a satellite in practice.
