The 1st edition of CanSat Junior Açores took place on the 26th and 27th of May, an organization of the Government of the Azores through the Office of the Regional Undersecretary of the Presidency/EMA-Espaço, Ciência Viva, ESERO Portugal, and the Portuguese Space Agency. For two days, around 100 students from 7 islands lived an unforgettable scientific and technological adventure on the island of Santa Maria, where they tested and analyzed data from their microsatellites launched by a drone.
They were moments of great anxiety but also of great joy, fun, learning and knowledge sharing.
All were winners, but there were 3 teams that stood out:
1st place: “Cagarros” – EBS Santa Maria
2nd place: “SpaceNerds” – ES Domingos Rebelo (São Miguel)
3rd place: “Azores at Space” – ES de Lagoa (São Miguel)
Well done everyone, students and teachers, for your work!
See you next year!
