WhiteHat Jr Collaborates with Leading Space Company EnduroSat to Deliver Advanced Learning Opportunities to Students
MUMBAI, India, 30 March 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- The unique collaboration will allow students to transmit commands to, and 
access data from a satellite operating in space 

    WhiteHat Jr, a leading EdTech company known for delivering 1:1 live online 
classes in Coding & Math, has entered into a multi-year partnership with 
EnduroSat [https://www.endurosat.com/] , a leading space company. The contract 
entails a satellite launch in December 2021, which will have a payload 
dedicated to WhiteHat Jr, that provides its students with exciting learning 
opportunities related to space. In addition, WhiteHat Jr students will also 
have access to another Satellite on a trial basis scheduled for launch in June 
2021. Both satellites will leverage SpaceX [https://www.spacex.com/] Falcon 9 
rideshare.

    The unique collaboration between WhiteHat Jr and EnduroSat will create 
fascinating applied science opportunities for students who will be able to send 
commands to, and access data from a satellite operating in space. From 
analyzing sensor data (there are 30+ sensors onboard each satellite, including 
infrared, temperature, sun sensor, gyroscope, etc.) to controlling cameras 
(taking pictures of various space objects), to relaying messages to and fro, 
the applied science opportunities that students would get are endless. 
Moreover, students would be able to participate in different ways of 
orchestrating space data on WhiteHat Jr's payload computer (a Raspberry Pi 4 
with a direct link to the main onboard computer). All of these learning 
experiences would be seamlessly integrated with WhiteHat Jr's curriculum and 
would follow a gamified content aimed to ensure maximum student engagement.

    "We have always believed in the power of creation through exploration. This 
partnership is a testament to our mission of enabling kids to think beyond the 
obvious and aim for the stars, quite literally, Mr. Karan Bajaj, Founder & CEO 
at WhiteHat Jr. "We are absolutely thrilled to offer this unique learning 
opportunity to our students, and are in the process of involving multiple 
strategic and corporate partners to popularize it globally,".  

    "We are really excited to partner with WhiteHat Jr. This marks the first 
mission where a partner is fully dedicated to advancing the education of 
children from an early age. EnduroSat has long advocated for space education to 
be democratized and made available to everyone through our own Spaceport 
Academy [https://spaceport.academy/login] ," said Mr. Raycho Raychev, Founder 
and CEO at EnduroSat. "We hope that the mission will inspire a new generation 
of space enthusiasts and are excited at the prospect of sharing it with 
thousands of kids," said Mr. Raycho Raychev, Founder and CEO at EnduroSat.
