The CanSat Ghana initiative, sponsored by the OAD, aimed to promote astronomy awareness in Ghana through practical engagement with electronics and satellite design. This educational competition empowered high school students aged 14 to 18 to learn how to construct CanSats (satellites in a can) and compete to demonstrate their skills. The project involved 107 students, […]

CanSat Ghana uses space-based techniques (actual space-based mission) to build & develop a sustainable approach to teaching & learning the basic sciences while developing hands-on skills, building capacity & human resource in Space science & Astronomy. Space engineering, instrumentation & learning, based on the experimental satellite (Cansat) design/mission concept, enables students to gain hands-on experience […]
On Saturday, 6th May 2023, the Elementary Launch of CanSat Ghana commenced at the KNUST’s Engineering Department. CanSat Ghana is a foundation focused on helping Ghana develop its space sector through building experimental satellites (CanSats). A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drinks can. […]
