  • Opening up the Worldwide ExoLab Platform

    The genesis of Magnitude was 10 years ago today! On that first day of summer in 2013, Tony and I decided to bring learning to the very edge of human discovery – and, with a bit of luck – the opportunity to bring others with us to peer over that edge. As a for profit…

  • Look Back: Year 6

    The 2018-2019 year was the beginning of expanded international growth for Magnitude. We kicked the fiscal year off in San Francisco that July receiving an Innovation Award in STEM education at the ISS R&D conference. August had us joining a NASA contingent to Puerto Rico for university outreach. A partnership was launched in Germany with…

  • San Antonio students show off their work on WEX Foundation’s STEM day

    Students in San Antonio worked in teams to construct their rovers and the balloon payload over multiple weekends, using the magnitude.io/ CanSat to collect telemetry data and visualize them in real-time. Activities included the Lunar Caves remote vehicle, high-powered rocket, and high altitude balloon reaching about 100,000 ft. The WEX Foundation, LCATS provides a safe…

  • CanSat High Altitude Balloon Launch – USC: Project Payload

  • My dream is to work for NASA – Stockton 2019

    Not only were these students totally engaged, but they were also eager to mentor and share with younger students what they have learned. The data and programming team kept the realtime telemetry data being collected. The payload design team secured all the internal experiment and positioned all the electronics. The weather team kept the rest…

  • SF Friends School Launched a High Altitude Balloon

  • Tommie Ebanez at Thornton Jr High launched the CanSat High Altitude Balloon

    "Ever since I heard about magnitude.io/, I was incredibly excited to push this type of project in my own classroom. Fast forward 4 years when we were finally able to put that into reality when we launched our first weather balloon on March 29th, 2018. With the help of Ted, Tony, and Kareem I was able…

  • Girls in STEM – Janelle Wellons at JPL

    Janelle Wellons of Jet Propulsion Lab would like to use her story to inspire other young women to go for their dream with perseverance. We met Janelle Wellons, a recent MIT graduate, at the Engaging Girls in STEM event organized by Anthony Quan of the Los Angeles County Office of Education. Her smile, her positive attitude, and…

  • High Altitude Balloon at the Boy Scouts National Jamboree

    On July 25th, 2017, team magnitude.io/ had an incredible experience launching a high altitude balloon at the National Boy Scouts Jamboree. The Mt. Diablo Silverado Venture Scouts began learning how to capture atmospheric conditions with the sensors on the CanSat a few months before the event through a series of lectures and engineering challenges. This included…
