Case Study: Teachers in Space educates students and tracks postcards to space with itemit asset tags

How Teachers in Space Are Using itemit To Educate The Planet

Teachers in Space, a non-profit educational organization, had the challenge of tracking millions of student postcards on their educational journey from classrooms across the US into orbit and back to Earth. They required a robust system to document the entire space-flight process to inspire students. The organization partnered with vendor itemit and utilized its asset tracking software and QR code asset tags to monitor the postcards' locations.

The solution implemented by itemit provided the tools to track the postcards through pre-flight testing, launch, spaceflight, and recovery. This allowed students and teachers to monitor their assets' journeys in real-time, bringing the process of space exploration to life. While specific metrics are not provided, the result is a successful partnership where itemit's technology is integral to documenting the postcards' perilous journey, helping Teachers in Space achieve its goal of educating and inspiring the next generation.
