Students will learn programming skills, problem-solving strategies, and have the opportunity to design, build, and compete with their very own bot utilizing the VCS proprietary program, RoboQuest.
This beginning course in STEM robotics uses a hands-on approach to introduce fundamental robotics concepts, focusing on the construction and programming of autonomous mobile robots. Students will learn basic programming skills, problem-solving strategies, and have the opportunity to design and build their very own bot.
During this 9-month program, students work in teams to conceptualize, create, and conduct their experiment for NASA approval. Each team submits draft documentation and data analysis for review in order to be installed on the ISS for 30 days. This hands-on experience offers students real-world situations to navigate using technical skills, creativity, and the latest technology.
Our accelerated, no-fuss space program comes with 2-3 pre-approved NASA experiments for 7th through 12th graders. The program is available as a semester-long science curriculum insert (6 hr) or an after school extracurricular (12 hr). Q4 Level 2 provides students the opportunity for research analysis, code development, and data uploads to the International Space Station (ISS). Get your hands on this NASA-approved course today.
Over the course of a semester, students will conduct a NASA-approved experiment to compare data results from Earth and the International Space Station (ISS). This hands-on experiment gives students the opportunity to develop observation, creative problem solving, and critical thinking skills.
