Summary
Students and staff from the Wolfpack CubeSat program presented outreach and education work, noted three prior satellite launches and CSLI selection for a middle‑school CubeSat, and outlined plans for two five‑day summer camps in partnership with Palm Beach State College and the Boys & Girls Club.
Students from the Wolfpack CubeSat team briefed the council on their decade of work in CubeSat design, launches and policy outreach.
A program representative told the council the nonprofit team has launched three satellites and is building a fourth; students come from a dozen U.S. states and several countries. Student presenters described curriculum goals, competitions that prepare younger students (Space Scribe) and plans to run two five‑day summer camps at Palm Beach State College in collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club. “Our program will fix this problem by providing an authentic STEM education curriculum as well as an effective aerospace program,” said Kaylee Sortie, a seventh‑grade student presenter.
Why it matters: Presenters said the project creates hands‑on STEM pathways and workforce readiness for students who may later pursue aerospace careers or higher education opportunities. Council members thanked the students and urged public support for program events and camps.
No council action was required.
