Yes you heard that right, these high school aged students are creating spacefaring technology before they are even old enough for college.

This satellite is called "SiriusSat", named after the Sirius school for gifted children which the students attend. The school trains children in three primary fields of Science, Art, and Sports, without wasting the students time on frivolous studies.

Russian TV does an excellent overview of the school and the students recent accomplishments.
