Good afternoon, Space Leaders! 🌌
During this 12 week learning programme, learners will create a space-themed game in Scratch using code blocks, design their spaceship and space obstacle objects in graphic design software, promote their game by producing an advertising poster and promotional video.
This space game is more than just an educational tool - it’s a gateway to the stars! By engaging your students in this cosmic adventure, you’ll be helping to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers and explorers.
We have prepared some videos to help you support your students and prepare for delivering this programme.
Prepare for lift off, Captain.
This programme is made of 4 modules.
Learners will have 12 weeks to complete the 4 modules. We have designed it in a way for this to be self-paced learning, with support and guidance from you as the UTeachMi teacher.
