WhiteHat Jr, an EdTech company known for delivering 1:1 live online classes in Coding & Math, has entered into a multi-year partnership with EnduroSat, a 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 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 the SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare,” according to a statement.
The collaboration between WhiteHat Jr and EnduroSat will create applied science opportunities for students who will be able to send commands to, and access data from a satellite operating in space, the statement added.
“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. We hope that this space mission will inspire a new generation of space enthusiasts and are excited at the prospect of sharing it with thousands of kids!” said Raycho Raychev, Founder and CEO, EnduroSat.
