Program Overview
Book in conjunction with “Discovery: Drones on Mars” for a 9.30-1.30pm day of learning.
“Sphero Space Explorers” offers an immersive, hands-on learning experience for Grade 5 and 6 students, blending coding and planetary science into an engaging simulated space mission. Students will collaboratively program Sphero robots to navigate a model solar system, gathering simulated data from various planets and satellites before returning to the International Space Station.
This program fosters the development of essential coding skills, while simultaneously enhancing students’ understanding of planetary characteristics and the challenges of space exploration. Through research, mission planning, and data analysis, students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific communication skills. By designing mission plans, troubleshooting coding errors, and presenting their findings, they will simulate real-world scientific processes, making learning both interactive and meaningful.
