             abstract = "The teaching of science in Brazil has been achieving moderate 
                         results as well as the youngsters interest for careers in the 
                         techno-scientific field is still low. This paper describes how the 
                         UbatubaSat project of a picosatellite might be a roadmap for 
                         public Brazilian schools to change this reality. This initiative 
                         is being developed since 2010 by the Tancredo de Almeida Neves 
                         School in Ubatuba, S{\~a}o Paulo, Brazil, with technological 
                         support from INPE, the National Space Research Institute. The 
                         project has seen encouraging results towards promoting students´ 
                         interest in engineering, science and technology, especially in 
                         Aerospace Engineering, by the assembly, integration, testing, 
                         coding and launch of a picosatellite. This also promotes teamwork 
                         among different levels of education because some activities are 
                         being developed by basic level, others are planned for secondary 
                         technical students and some are even within the scope of INPEs 
                         graduate courses. The project has received recognition from the 
                         national and international scientific community and received 
                         support for its activities from organizations such as UNESCO, 
                         AEBBrazilian Space Agency, amongst others. Briefly, Tancredo1 is 
                         the first picosatellite of the UbatubaSat project and it is a 
                         compact tube-shaped pico-satellite with a mass of less than 0.75 
                         kg based on TubeSat kit from Interorbital Systems (IOS) [1]. It 
                         will be launched in early 2015 to the Kibo 
                         (\き\ぼ\う, Hope) module of ISS - 
                         International Space Station [2] having two payloads: (1) an 
                         educational voice recorder and (2) an experimental Langmuir probe.

                         developments, adaptations methodologies, results and its 
                         perspectives to a broader impact in the Brazilian educational
