Teacher Training for FUNcube dongle
Thanks to Pfizer Ltd the club has been able to purchase a special satellite receiver called a FUNcube dongle. The satellite is only a 10cm cube and its role is to send data to schools about its temperature and other telemetry so that the pupils have real scientific data to analyse. Teachers came from Thanet, Dartford and Maidstone to St Lawrence college to hear how Pfizer’s ‘Space Lab in a box’ can be borrowed by schools so that they can enhance their physics lessons.
