🌪️ Hurricane Melissa is rewriting the rulebook. - Now a Category 5 storm with sustained winds near 175 mph, Melissa is the strongest hurricane ever to directly threaten Jamaica. - Forecasts call for up to 30–40 inches of rain in some areas, a level described as catastrophic. - It is already the third Category 5 storm of the 2025 Atlantic season, tying historic records for intensity. - Scientists say unprecedentedly warm ocean waters are fueling this rapid intensification. At Space Kitz, we believe these aren’t just headlines — they’re opportunities for students to learn. With our Signal Hunters Kit, classrooms can track live satellite data, decode storm behavior, and see how technology, physics, and climate connect in real time. 📸 The images below were pulled directly from our Space Kitz Signal Hunters base station just now. 👉 Check the comments for the link to get started. #SpaceKitz #HurricaneMelissa #STEMEducation #SatelliteData #ClimateSTEM

🌍✨ Did you know you can take a real selfie of Earth—straight from space—using just a small ground station? That’s exactly what our Signal Hunters Kit makes possible. Students can capture live imagery directly from NOAA’s satellites, turning a classroom into a space mission control center. 🚀 It’s not just STEM—it’s an experience. Hands-on, real-world, and unforgettable. We’re on a mission to make space science accessible for every student. The first “Earth selfies” our pilot classrooms captured still give us chills. 🌎💡 👉 Curious how it works?

🌌 Ever wonder how we can actually listen to space? At Space Kitz, we designed the Signal Hunters Kit to make satellite science hands-on for students and educators. With it, you can receive real NOAA GOES weather satellite signals—straight from orbit—using a simple, classroom-ready setup. We just published a new blog breaking down: - How the kit works in practice - What NOAA GOES satellites are and why they matter - How this technology connects students to real-time space and Earth data 🚀 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/exd35GjV If you’re an educator curious about bringing authentic space science into your classroom, this is a great place to start.

🌪️ The recent nor’easter that swept up the East Coast is a powerful reminder of just how dynamic—and disruptive—our atmosphere can be. At Space Kitz, we’re giving students the chance to move from simply experiencing weather to actually studying it from space. Using our GOES Weather Satellite kits, classrooms can tap into live satellite data, track storms like this nor’easter, and analyze the very same feeds that meteorologists use to keep communities informed and safe. Why does this matter? Because the next generation of scientists, engineers, and decision-makers need real tools and real data in their hands—early. Watching a storm on the news sparks curiosity. Being able to decode it from orbit builds understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime. As extreme weather events grow more frequent, empowering students with direct access to satellite technology isn’t just STEM education—it’s climate resilience education. 🚀 With Space Kitz, classrooms don’t just learn about storms… they learn how to read Earth from space. 👉 Learn more at www.spacekitz.com #SpaceKitz #STEM #WeatherTech #NOAA #GOES #STEMEducation #Innovation

🚀 We’re heading to #STANYS25! Space Kitz is thrilled to announce that we’ll be exhibiting at the 130th Annual STANYS Conference, taking place November 7‑10, 2025 in Syracuse, NY. #STANYS25 Are you attending STANYS? Let’s meet. Drop me a message or comment below — we’d love to share what’s new at Space Kitz! Stay tuned for booth details, session information, and a sneak peek of what we’ll be showcasing. See you in Syracuse! 🧬🌌 #STANYS #ScienceEducation #STEM #EdTech #SpaceKitz

🌍🚀 It’s #WorldSpaceWeek (October 4–10)—the annual, UN-backed celebration of how space science and technology improve life on Earth. The dates honor two milestones: the launch of Sputnik 1 (Oct 4, 1957) and the 1967 Outer Space Treaty (Oct 10), which set the foundation for peaceful, cooperative exploration. Why does this matter to us at Space Kitz? Because inspiration has a deadline. If we want the next generation building satellites, guiding climate research, and advancing space tech, we need to give students real ways to touch space—right now. That’s exactly what we do: • Make space tangible: Students assemble our kits and point real antennas skyward to capture live NOAA/GOES imagery—no “simulated” data. • Build → Capture → Analyze: From hardware to hands-on data analysis, learners see the full pipeline of modern space operations. • Ignite STEM pathways: Hands-on missions spark curiosity that turns into coursework, clubs, certifications, and careers. World Space Week is about scale and access—last year alone saw 16,000+ events across 83 countries. We’re proud to be part of this global movement by putting authentic space experiences in classrooms, after-school programs, and community centers—so students don’t just learn about space, they work in it. If you’re an educator, district leader, museum, or planetarium: • Let’s co-host a World Space Week activity or build a semester-long program. • We’ll bring the gear, curriculum, and support—you bring the learners and the curiosity.

🌪️ Storm Watch from Space This morning our Signal Hunters program captured live satellite imagery of Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda churning in the Atlantic. While forecasts show the East Coast likely avoiding a direct hit, the storms are still driving high surf, rip currents, and flooding risks across coastal communities. Moments like this are why we built Signal Hunters — giving students the power to pull down and decode real satellite data as the story unfolds. Not stock images. Not simulations. Actual live transmissions from space. When students see the same storm systems on their screens that the world is watching on the news, it makes science real. — The Space Kitz Team 🚀

🚀 How real is real? This morning we pulled fresh satellite data—and what you’re seeing isn’t CGI. It’s live, raw signals from space. Take a look: Humberto and Imelda, locked in a Fujiwhara-type interaction, where Humberto’s stronger circulation is tugging Imelda away from the U.S. coastline. Instead of landfall, Imelda is being redirected. Meanwhile, rainfall/flooding risk is shifting — South Carolina is still in the mix, but the forecasts are trending toward a lower chance of extreme inland flooding. This is exactly the kind of event students using Signal Hunters get to explore firsthand. They don’t just see satellite imagery — they capture, decode, and analyze it in real time, translating space signals into weather insight. 👉 Learn more about the Signal Hunters STEM program here: https://lnkd.in/eJQfY9mG In the comments I’ll drop full-resolution RGB and infrared images so you can inspect the detail yourself. Let’s make science live, not just taught. #SpaceKitz #SignalHunters #SatelliteScience #STEM #WeatherSatellites #Fujiwhara #NOAA #RealData

🚨 Two more storms. One planet. And our students are watching it unfold live. 🛰️ This morning’s satellite image — decoded directly from space by students in the Signal Hunters program — shows a crowded Atlantic and Pacific basin, with Tropical Storms Humberto and Imelda gaining strength and Hurricane Narda holding steady in the Pacific. Students aren’t just reading the forecast... They're tracking the storms themselves, pulling real-time data from NOAA satellites, and visualizing global weather systems — live — using low-cost antennas they built in the classroom. This is what Space Kitz is all about: ⚡ Empowering students with real-world space science 🛰️ Making satellite data hands-on and accessible 🌎 Bringing Earth and space closer together 💡 The future of weather science is already happening — in middle and high schools across the country. 📡 Attached is a live satellite image decoded yesterday by one of our pilot schools. 🔗 Learn more about Signal Hunters and how your school can join the mission: https://www.spacekitz.com #SignalHunters #SpaceKitz #NOAA #STEMeducation #Hurricanes #WeatherFromSpace #RealWorldSTEM #SatelliteScience #EarthObservation
