DreamCoder introduces students to the basics of computer engineering with a truly out-of-this world lab. No experience is necessary to begin designing and testing experiments as soon as your hardware kit arrives. When the code is ready, we’ll send it to our identical equipment on board the International Space Station (ISS).
DreamCoder lessons tackle real-world problems with Python3 concepts. The Launchpad is your mission control, where you write and test code. The NGSS-aligned curriculum guides students through the engineering design process from start to finish, building skills in:
- Project Management
- Software Development
- Data Science
- Communications
The SAGAN SpaceLab board includes a Raspberry Pi mini computer and 12 different sensors including temperature, time, camera, luminosity, ultraviolet, magnetism, barometric, and infrared.
