Journey to the Moon with Artemis (6 weeks) – Intermediate

Description

Objective:

The Artemis: Return to the Moon course introduces students to space exploration and coding through interactive, mission-based activities inspired by NASA’s Artemis Program. Students will develop foundational coding skills using MakeCode or Python while tackling real-world challenges such as satellite deployment, lunar exploration, and resource management. The course encourages creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, fostering critical thinking and teamwork.

Topics Covered:

• Weeks 1-2: Introduction, Setup, Earth’s Orbit, and Pollution Challenges.
• Weeks 3-4: Lunar Exploration, Landing Sites, and Space Resource Management.
• Weeks 5-6: Advanced Missions, Team Coordination, Mission Review, and Extension

Projects. Outcome:

By the end of this course, students will have a solid understanding of space exploration concepts and how coding can be used to solve challenges related to lunar missions. They will have developed essential coding skills in MakeCode or Python and worked collaboratively on real-world inspired missions. This hands-on experience will prepare students to think critically, work in teams, and apply their coding knowledge to future problem-solving scenarios in space exploration.
