Summary
Organized by SEDS Canada, the Canadian Stratospheric Balloon Experiment Design Challenge (CAN-SBX) is a national competition for Canadian post-secondary students to design and test a small scientific experiment to fly on board a high-altitude balloon provided by the Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES) in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Two winning teams were selected by SEDS Canada to attend the 2019 CAN-SBX launch campaign in Timmins, Ontario in August 2019 and to test their experiments. Students who participated in this event were given a unique opportunity to work alongside scientists and engineers from Canada and Europe while gaining valuable hands-on experience with launch operations, technology testing and data analysis. This grant provided financial support to the university in order to enable the participation of four students from the team in the launch campaign.

Description (French)
Organisée par SEDS Canada, la Compétition canadienne d'expériences en ballon stratosphérique (CAN-SBX) est une compétition nationale permettant aux étudiants canadiens de niveau postsecondaire de concevoir et de tester une petite expérience scientifique à bord d'un ballon à haute altitude fourni par le Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES) en partenariat avec l'Agence spatiale canadienne (ASC). SEDS Canada a sélectionné deux équipes gagnantes pour participer à la campagne de lancement du CAN-SBX 2019 à Timmins, Ontario en août 2019, et pour tester leurs expériences. Les étudiants qui ont participé à cet événement ont eu l'occasion unique de travailler avec des scientifiques et des ingénieurs du Canada et de l'Europe, tout en acquérant une précieuse expérience pratique des opérations de lancement, des tests technologiques et de l'analyse de données. Cette subvention a fourni un soutien financier à l'université pour permettre la participation de quatre étudiants faisant partie de l'équipe à la campagne de lancement.
