An earth year lasts 365 days. What about on other planets? How do we measure time and our age on Mars?
The upcoming sessions of the fourth edition of Project CS First will employ the free platform to integrate space exploration with curricular subjects.

CALCULATE YOUR AGE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
For first-degree secondary school teachers
How old are you on Mars? Find out with Computer Science First, the platform that promotes computational thinking, mathematical skills and creativity in a fun manner. During the webinar, coaches will illustrate a coding project to teachers that can be used to calculate the age of an individual on the different planets of the solar system. The project can be used to encourage students to understand algorithms and digital creativity using a custom-tailored virtual environment.
Coach: Federico Di Giacomo, Researcher and Educator at the National Institute for Astrophysics

PEDAGOGIC WHEEL AND CODING EXPERIMENTS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
For first-degree secondary school teachers
Coding is one of the most widely applied digital languages, but how can we expand coding projects to more than mere programming? How can it be integrated into a greater vision of digital didactics? Following an introduction to media education and pedagogical wheels, participants will participate in the guided creation of an interactive game that can be used in class to calculate our age on the various planets of the solar system.
Coaches: Maria Cristina Bevilacqua, Digital Coordinator and Foreign Language Teacher, and Federico Di Giacomo, Researcher and Educator at the National Institute for Astrophysics.
