CanSat Competitions

The European CanSat competitions have been held since 2010, but it's not something just for a small amount of people. CanSat competitions are well spread around many countries. Yearly national competitions are held yearly among teams formed by young people in countries such as Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain and many others.

However this competition doesn't only take place in Europe. The American Astronautical Society and American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics have organized an annual competition. This competition includes a complex engineering project in which students will be involved. The range of ages covers from college to university students and it assures that its participants will experience how projects in real life work and will be able to develop one and make it true by themselves.

If you are willing to have fun and learn while you get prepared for a real life project we encourage you, no matter where you are, to join a CanSat team and get ready to design, program and build a real operative satellite, but as it name says, IN A CAN!

What else do you want? Don't let your opportunity slip away!
