NASA Lunabotics Junior: A Free Block Coding Robotic Simulation on the Moon at Kennedy Space Center (Grades 6-8)
My Session Status
When:
9:30 AM, Friday 28 Jun 2024
(1 hour 20 minutes)
Where:
The Center for Space Education
- Room 9020
This is a free, fieldtrip workshop at KSC for middle schoolers to learn block coding based on VIPER mission planned to go to the Moon in 2024. Students become Artemis engineers programing robots in small teams to search craters on the south pole of the Moon on giant maps. Teams that complete this mission, then run a robot with their code in lunar soil simulant, safely outside the hostile fine-dust of the lunar soil simulant. This session is for educators to experience what students will. Schools and groups need to be within driving distance of KSC. Upper elementary classes with block coding skill are eligible.
