Irvine CubeSat STEM Program
open-in-new
<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>The Irvine CubeSat STEM Program was created in 2015 by Brent Freeze and Kain Sosa. Freeze took inspiration from his work alongside <a href="/facts/Arnold_O._Beckman_High_School/jbzEb5Jq">Arnold O. Beckman High School</a> physics teacher Paul Lewanski on a weather balloon project.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> </p><p>Two years after the weather balloon project, Freeze contacted Lewanski about the idea of a <a href="/facts/CubeSat/jL2IpYKd">CubeSat</a> program. Beckman High School supported the program fully, and became the first ICSP team, Beckman Avionics. Following Beckman High School, Freeze and Sosa interviewed teachers at other high schools in Irvine, and the other subteams were created based on each schools' resources and teacher skill sets. </p><p>The Irvine CubeSat STEM Program aims to inspire the next generation of innovative thinkers, creators, programmers, and explorers.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> ICSP is composed of six public high schools from the Tustin <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> and Irvine<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> School Districts: <a href="/facts/Arnold_O._Beckman_High_School/jbzEb5Jq">Arnold O.
