2nd of December 2024: Our First CanSat Presentation

During our presentation, our school's teams talked about the fundamentals of the Dutch CanSat Competition. We also explained our missions and answered questions asked by our audience. People who couldn't attend the presentation, joined our live on Instagram. After the presentation, we ate our dinner sponsored by different stores and worked on our CanSat!

20th of January 2025: CanSat Work Day

We organized a work day at our school! We did loads of tests regarding the primary mission, worked on the progress report and we had just received the sensors needed for the secondary mission. On this day we did: 

• Software Tests: Sofia tested the sensors for primary and secondary mission to see if they connect to the program.
• Soldering: Lara and Emilio soldered The Shield (green board). Soldering is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. 
  
• Parachute Tests: Deyora has made a prototype parachute! It has a cross-like structure with strong ropes to carry the CanSat and withstand pressure.
• Clothing Design: We have chosen a navy-blue hoodie as our uniform! It has our logo and the member's name in the front and our logo in a can at the back. For our sponsors, we will make pins/patches to put on the sweater. The reason why we chose this sweater is because it matches our logo and the cold weather
