抄録

CanSat started as Japan-US university student project in 1998. Since then, CanSat has been an excellent practical education program on space engineering for university students, gaining momentum year by year and spreading worldwide. To expand this activity especially to younger students, University of Tokyo developed “CANSAT-Kit” as an educational tool for space engineering. A new style space outreach program put into execution for senior high students using CANSAT-Kit. This paper describes details of the program including its aim, CANSAT-Kit design, teaching methodology and flight experiment by balloon.
