This course is designed for students, working professionals, and any individuals with a general understanding of engineering who want to gain insight into the exciting topic of space technologies. With the practical approach of the course, students will experience working on a challenging project in an interdisciplinary team. This will prepare them for a systems engineering career with a leading position in the engineering industry. With the basic knowledge in space technologies that is imparted in this course, students will have a good starting point to prepare themselves for a continuing education in space engineering. It is recommended that students use their own laptops for the hands-on project.
Prerequisite: at least one year of university experience
A CanSat is a small satellite in the shape of a commercial beverage can that performs several measuring tasks. In this course, a CanSat will be designed, built, and tested in the field during a rocket launch. Therefore, all basic knowledge of topics related to the exciting area of space technologies will be imparted, and practical skills for the development of a CanSat will be trained. The theoretical units will be supplemented with practical exercises. Parts of the CanSat will be developed in intensely supervised small groups. During an excursion to a site in Berlin where space-related companies and institutions are located, the participants will gain insight into facilities used for the development of satellites.

The TU Berlin Summer & Winter School invites students and working professionals from around the world to participate in a unique summer or winter experience at the TU Berlin in Germany, located in Europe. We offer summer and winter schools across the fields of science, technology, arts, and business, delivered by experts and professors from the Technische Universität Berlin. Contrary to what the name might suggest, TU Berlin does not only offer courses in technology, engineering, and the natural sciences; TU students can also study the humanities, social sciences, culture and technology, and economics. With an enrolment of nearly 34,000 students, TU Berlin is one of the largest technical universities in Germany. TU also has a high proportion of foreign students.
The TU Berlin is centrally located in the district of Charlottenburg in the heart of City West. Since Berlin’s public transport system is known to be one of the best in the world, the main campus can be easily reached from every corner of the city.
