North Star, Grades 1-2, Thursdays MP2

Service Description

Greetings from Space! is an 8-week coding + STEAM workshop where students explore what it takes to live beyond Earth through creative coding, space science, engineering, and hands-on challenges. Students will investigate gravity, build and test a parachute for a “marshmallow astronaut,” imagine how people might live on another world, design solutions for space-based problems, and create interactive projects using ScratchJr. Along the way, they’ll experiment, revise their ideas, and learn through hands-on problem solving. Our project-based approach lets beginners and experienced coders work at their own level — no prior coding experience needed! What Parents Will Notice: * Increased curiosity about how things move and work * Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills * Confidence in testing ideas, making changes, and improving designs * Pride in both hands-on creations and coding projects ✨ Hands-on STEM meets creative coding ✨ Real-world concepts made fun and accessible ✨ Encourages experimentation, creativity, and growth mindset ✨ Our final class includes a project showcases where families are invited to attend
