Why Do Teachers and Students Love Ardusat?
Ardusat is an education experience that combines Arduino-based hardware, sensors and the Experiment Hub (eHub) to deliver incredible learning experiences.
With Ardusat, hands-on learning in the classroom is easy. Our eHub guides educators through each step of the learning experience. Plus, Ardusat makes incorporating new teaching guidelines (such as coding literacy) simple thanks to our clear lesson plans – no coding knowledge required!

How It Works
Ardusat’s open-source hardware, eHub, and standards-based learning resources make STEM education easy and fun!
1. Pick Your Hardware
From the Classroom Starter Pack to a single Ardusat Sensor Kit, our affordable kits have all the hardware you need to get started. Plus, since Ardusat uses open-source hardware, our kits grow with your student.
2. Find a Learning Experience
Our exclusive eHub platform has dozens (hundreds?) of ready-to-go experiments. Connect your experiment to our platform to gather real-world data. No coding experience? No problem – we include everything you need, including code.
3. Run Your Experiment
Our standards-aligned experiments help students learn STEM through gathering real-world data. Connect your Ardusat hardware to eHub and stream data from even more sources (like satellites).
4. Analyze & Share
Students view the results of experiments in eHub and use our powerful tools to analyze and understand the data. They can share their findings with the other students around the globe
What Educators Say
“I love the easy-to-use, interactive labs! Our high-altitude balloon experiment showed my class how to investigate changes in temperature vs. altitude from 90,000 feet over Colorado Springs, Colorado. I’ve never seen my students so engaged!”

3 Reasons You (and Your Students!) Will Love Ardusat
Better Learning Experiences
Take hands-on learning to the next level! Integrating into current curriculum and learning objectives is easy, with standards aligned labs and real-world science tools which teach 21st century skills.
Ready-to-Go Experiments
Ardusat’s Experiment Hub (or eHub) is a powerful, open STEM platform for inquiry driven experiments. Teachers can browse through pre-designed labs, personalize them, or publish their own. Our classroom management features save you time, so you can focus on inspiring students to become explorers, right in the classroom.
Simple Learning Resources for Educators
Ardusat also provides open learning resources to ignite your student’s imaginations and instill an excitement for science, engineering, math, and technology.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much coding experience do I need to bring Ardusat into my classroom?
- None! Our Experiment Hub contains everything you need to run our experiments. If you can copy and paste, you can run Ardusat experiments.
- Do the DemoSat units get sent into space?
- The DemoSat is built in the exact dimensions of real satellites we use to gather data from space. While your individual satellites won’t be sent into space, you can use the real space data in your experiments.
- Does the kit come with everything I need to get started?
- Our goal is to make STEM education easy on teachers, so we include everything you need to get started in our kits.
- How long do the kits last?
- In our experience, our kits haven’t had any major problems with durability. So far, they’ve lasted three years and counting.
- If you’d ever like to expand your kits, our platform uses open-source parts so you can easily add to them as needed. This makes Ardusat a great value for schools, districts, teachers and parents!
Ready to Get Started?
You appreciate the value an interactive STEM program can bring to your class, and we want to make the experience of implementing the program hassle-free.
The Ardusat Classroom Launch Pack provides all the tools you’ll need to get your students designing and running their own experiments. This includes a license for all students, management tools in our eHub, and the hands-on technology tools with teacher resources to get you started. Find out how to implement Ardusat labs in your classrooms and open a whole new world of learning for your students.
Which Kit is the Right Fit for You?
Classroom Launch Kit
Our Classroom Launch Pack provides teachers with resources that enable their students to conduct hands-on experiments using satellite sensors, providing them with a one-of-a-kind classroom experience. The materials help students learn the fundamentals of remote sensing. The Space Kit is the first step in teaching students how they will operate experiments on Spire CubeSats. Teachers will be supported by the Ardusat Support Team to ensure successful implementation in their classroom.
A Launch Pack contains the following:
- 10 Space Kits (ideal for a classroom of up to 35 students, divided into teams)
- 1 DemoSat
- Cart
- Expansion Collection
- Free Shipping in the US
- 1 Year Site License for Ardusat eHub
Individual Sensor Kit
The Ardusat Sensor Kit is a great way to get started with basic Arduino programming and learn about the sensors sent into orbit on Spire CubeSats. It’s perfect for parents looking to get their kids started coding, engineering, making/DIYing, and more.
Ardusat provides beginner-level experiments and ideas, but really the possibilities are endless on what you want to measure and data you want to collect on earth. This kit is ideal for hobbyists ages 12+.
The Space Kit includes:
- Arduino
- Ardusat Sensor Board (Luminosity Sensor, Temperature Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Barometer, Ultra Violet Light Sensor, Infrared Thermopile)
- Input sensors, LED displays, and more to get started experimenting
- 1 Year Personal License for Ardusat eHub
