Free Webinar for K-12!!! Explore Moon to Mars – Simulating Deep Space Communication

FREE 1-hour webinar for educators in Grades K-12

Large white antenna in a desert background as the sun is setting and the sky is getting dark with many clouds. Several small ground lights are illuminating the large antenna.

Summary: Communication between spacecraft and scientists on Earth is fundamental to Artemis Missions and involves many considerations that are unique to transmission and reception of signals across large distances. In this webinar, we will simulate deep space communication through an activity that will allow students to analyze and interpret conversion between 8-bit RGB code to hexadecimal notation. This activity covers standards in Computer Science (CSTA 2-DA-07), NGSS Engineering Practice, and Common Core math standards on representation of numbers (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.B.6). We will also explore how to make these resources more culturally responsive. Join us for this free webinar!
