Educator Workshop: Coding for Space Exploration

Educator Workshop (In Person) – Coding for Space Exploration

When: Saturday, Jan. 20, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California

Target Audience: Educators for grades 4-12

Overview: Explore how computer programming allows robotic spacecraft, like Mars rovers, to sense their environments as they study distant worlds. Educators will get a hands-on introduction to programming tools such as Scratch and Flowgram as well as classroom-ready hardware like MakeyMakey and Cubit. Plus, you'll get an overview of standards-aligned lessons that will get students thinking like NASA engineers to code and design their own sensors.  Participation is limited, so register today!
