Xinabox co-founder Judi Sandrock from South Africa is on the Cold Star Project with host Jason Kanigan, and we're talking about their modular smallsat teaching tools.  


XinaBox designs, develops, and sells modular electronics for the IoT and STEM education markets, in senior schools as well as universities. The technology allows for rapid IoT, embedded and electronics prototyping and development, without soldering, wiring or other hardware knowledge … just coding.  


We discuss:  

  • successes and challenges of working on the MEDO Space (Meta Economic Development Organisation) and the Space STEM program in Africa  
  • what's missing in STEM education, both in Africa and abroad  
  • what Industry 4.0 is and why it's important  
  • How Xinabox is creating a huge opportunity for impact in STEM education worldwide  
  • How the Xinabox team was involved in the ThinSat and xSat STEM satellite constellations.
