A Universe of Stories: Robotic Camp
2023-09-25 08:30 - 15:00
Humans have accomplished amazing things in our pursuit to understand the universe, and this program aims to make your learner a part of the story! Snapology’s A Universe of Stories Space Robotics program allows children to explore different aspects of space science and deep space exploration through building robotic models that mimic the concepts that they are investigating. They will discuss the movement of astronomical objects, the developments in space exploration, and the past, present, and future of space travel.
WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
• Basic Astronomy
This workshop takes a tour of all the planets in our solar system, examines the concept and importance of constellations, and closely investigates the other astronomical objects that fill our solar system. Students will discuss these topics with their classmates and a trained Snapologist in order to use those complex concepts to build concrete examples that show their knowledge while providing plenty of space for creativity. You will be amazed at the knowledge your child gains through our hands-on, student-focused activities!
• Presentation Skills
Many school-age students struggle when it comes to their presentation skills in the classroom. Snapology will help your child feel more comfortable presenting in front of a class by having the child explain their unique creations to their peers in an inviting, low-stakes way. Presenting their creations will help their confidence in front of a group of people and will translate into their everyday self-assurance in the classroom.
• Teamwork/Partner Skills
Small groups and peer partners are key components of Snapology’s classroom approach. We emphasize positive teamwork skills in our programs and diligently work to develop healthy, respectful collaborations between students. Through group planning, sharing of materials, and fun partner experiences, students become more cognizant of how to interact with their peers in a respectful and productive way.
