# Space Experiment Kits The Ardusat Space Kit Enables Students to do Science Experiments in Space By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-05-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-kit References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/schoolkids-science-classroom-space/) & [ardusat](https://www.ardusat.com/) In an effort to get kids involved with some [hands-on learning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handson-learning-solution), the Space Kit from startup Ardusat trains kids to conduct science experiments in space. So while some companies are investing and bringing up the next generation by focusing on [coding skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-education-computer-science-ai), Arudsat is looking to the future astronauts and explorers. Devoted to helping young scientists, the new company collaborated with satellite data firm Spire to let students send up 'educational payloads' with their satellites containing their experiments. A range of different Space Kits are available, including the Classroom Launch Pack. The educational tool kits gives teachers everything they need to conduct experiments in class and create their [space-bound prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-rocketry). They all center around data collection versus physical trials, and contain working sensors. Other resources and video content are also included. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Space-based Education:** Opportunities for startups to create more space-based educational toys and resources. - **Data Collection Experimentation:** There is room for innovation in creating educational kits that focus on data collection experimentation. - **Collaboration Education Kits:** Creating educational kits that focus on collaboration between schools and satellite data firms can lead to innovative products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Education:** Opportunities to create more educational kits and tools for the younger generation to help them become future scientists and explorers. - **Space Exploration:** Data collection experimentation can lead to breakthroughs in the field of space exploration. - **Satellite Data Firms:** Collaboration with satellite data firms can lead to innovative solutions in education and experimentation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Inspired Toy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-collections.md) - [STEM-Driven Building Block Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-education-science-kits.md) - [Educational Science Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-add-baking-soda.md) - [STEM Gardening Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-terrarium-kids-grow-kit.md) - [Portable STEM Education Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-haptics-grasp-it.md) - [Astronomy-Based Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-solar-system-set.md) - [DIY Miniature Science Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-volcano-in-a-box.md) - [Space-Exploring STEAM Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leapfrog.md) - [Art-Focused STEAM Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-in-a-can.md)
