Mars Pioneer

Class : Mars Pioneer

Description

Students use block code to build an interplanetary story and game. Multi-themed projects include elements of storytelling, art, animation, music, and game design all in one. Projects emphasize creativity by encouraging students to build their unique stories each day.

Intermediate Level course is suitable for students familiar with block coding.

Levels:  Intro for Ages 7-12, Intermediate for Ages 9-12
Prerequisite for Intermediate: My First Intro to Coding! or previous course

Learning Outcomes
  • Learn to connect online, screen share, use chat to communicate with Coach and fellow students (on-line collaboration via Zoom)
    • Learn fundamentals of computer science using Scratch
    • Multi-day projects include integrated elements of storytelling, art, animation, music, and game design.
    • Mars Pioneer Itinerary
      • Class 1: Design Your Journey: Tell your story. Who’s going, create/draw your ship, prepare Perseverance for launch.
      • Class 2: Launch & Transit: Animating departure from Earth and through space. Is there an imposter on board?!
      • Class 3: Land & Explore: create a game to land on target. Explore and decide what (or who) you’ll find.
      • Class 4: Launch the drone, Ingenuity, and create your scrolling background effect as it flies.
      • Class 5: Should I stay or should I go? How does your story end, or does it continue to the next chapter?

For 4th to 7th grade classes, there are additional learning outcomes:

  • Students add depth to their creations with additional project coding.
  • Intermediate level classes cover material faster to allow for more coding depth to projects
