Create N Code II

About this Course

Building on the coding concepts and circuit-building skills students acquired in Create ‘N’ Code 1, this course will teach students about the real-life applications of using sensors and electronics. Students will learn about the science and engineering concepts behind space exploration by growing their own plants in Martian simulated soil, building a growing pod attachment to their Mars Habitats, and coding the Micro:bit controller to take metrics such as soil moisture, temperature, and light levels. Students will also learn to collect and graph data, an important skill to learn for future science experiments.

How it Works

This ten-session course is broken up into weekly lessons and activities, starting with an introduction to science concepts relevant to our theme and building towards using electronics to demonstrate the physical and quantitative sides of those concepts. The goal is for students to understand how all topics in science, from circuits to plant biology, are connected in the physical world. Completion of Create ‘N’ Code 1 is recommended.
