Description:

Welcome to Launch Control and Artemis: Return to the Moon - Minecraft's FIRST multiplayer collaborative, team-based coding world!

Spark a passion for space exploration on your journey to the moon with this exciting coding adventure. Join Orion’s crew and put your coding powers to the test as you work closely with Mission Control to complete mini-missions and solve challenges in space. Experience life as an astronaut and encounter the wonder of space flight!

Artemis: Return to the Moon has the following learning objectives:

1. To learn about the Artemis program and its significance 
2. To successfully solve mini coding puzzles using either useMakecode Block or Python Notebooks 
3. To learn about the daily activities of astronauts in orbit and the tools they use to navigate.
4. To better understand the role of computer science in space exploration
5. To take on varying roles, with teacher guidance, when collaborating with peers during the design, implementation, and review stages of program development.

Artemis: Return to the Moon is part of a series designed as a fun and creative introduction to the Artemis Program, the robotic and human exploration program led by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other partner agencies to return astronauts to the lunar surface by 2024.
