Virtual Space Exploration: Journey to the Stars
Calling all young space explorers! In this super cool workshop, we'll hop from planet to planet, learn about the sun and stars, and even dive into hands-on space experiments that are totally cosmic. But here's the super exciting part: by the end of the workshop, you'll become a Space Cadet Extraordinaire! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create your very own imaginary planet. Draw it, name it, and even make up some wild and wacky creatures that might live there. We'll have a space-tastic show-and-tell where you get to share your planet with all your fellow space adventurers.
Learning Goals:
- Writing & communication
- Research skills
- Digital & creative design
- Topical expertise
Final Deliverable: In the workshop, the students will get to create their own space worlds or a planet. They will draw the planets, name them, and add unique features. This will take inspiration from what was learned about our own solar system. At the end, there'll be a special "Show-and-Tell" where all the students can share their planets.
