Picosondes: Around the World with Just 20 Grams!

We help you design, build and launch your own picosonde: a small device weighing around 20 grams, capable of travelling hundreds or even thousands of kilometres and potentially making its way around the world.

​

And the most surprising part is that you don’t need a rocket or any large infrastructure. A picosonde can be prepared and launched from your home, your school or any suitable location, turning the entire planet into your own experimental playground.

​

At GoSTEM, we provide everything you need to bring the project to life: the hardware, educational materials, support throughout the design and construction process, programming guidance, launch preparation and tracking of the picosonde throughout its journey.

Building it means solving real engineering problems and making decisions about its design, while putting knowledge of physics, mathematics, technology, electronics, programming and communication into practice.

​

The result is much more than an experiment: it is about building a tiny device that leaves your hands and sets off on a journey around the world. An extraordinary way to learn science by doing, experimenting and discovering just how far a device weighing only 20 grams can go.
