Space Adventure Details

This section explains in greater detail what the space adventure STEM course is about. It is a challenging course that will give Middle School & or High School students the tools they need to begin their journey in STEM. They will be learning Python and they will learn to code Robots to perform tasks using Python.

 

Course Overview

 
 

Course Description

Students will embark on a space adventure as they become astronauts wh0 crash-landed on an unknown planet; they will need to use python & robotics to survive.

This project-based STEM course immerses students in the fundamentals of coding as they program robots to perform tasks in a series of story-driven challenges.

Outcomes

Students will learn to program in Python. They will use functions, conditionals, loops, pointers, lists, comparisons, & introductory AI to command robotics to perform tasks. Ultimately, they will develop critical thinking & problem solving mindsets needed to pursue further careers in STEM.

The Innovation behind Space Adventure

Our space adventure course is truly innovative because of its abillity to harness play and use it to teach.

Utilizing engaging stories to drive curriculum, this course challenges & rewards students to play as they experiment with code, learn from mistakes, & improve their problem solving skills. This course is the core of what STEM education is all about.

 

Ages & Eligibility

This course is available in three distinct levels:

1. Elementary (grades 3-5) students. After school only.

2. Middle school (grades 6-8), students. After school only.

3. High school (grades 9-12) students. Saturdays only.

Level of Difficulty & Requirements

This is a beginner-intermediate STEM course. Students are not required to have prior experience with Python or robotics to register. If your child has experience with code, then the course will still provide a challenge to them.

Computers & software are provided for the course duration.
