Ways to Collaborate

• Identify Schedule for Meeting
• Consider Time Zones! Share when you - AND HOW - you meet as a team!

​

• Identify Ways to Meet
• Identify way of meeting (in-person, zoom, webEx, Teams, Google Meet, etc)

​

• Share/Review Codes & Discuss Each Strategy
• Compare paths and results

Ways to Collaborate

​

• Discuss Pros and Cons of each code
• Prepare guiding questions for students. Encourage sharing and reflection.

​

• Facilitate open discussion about ways to improve and combine each team’s code
• Be sure to have a scribe that captures information and ideas. (or multiple scribes)
• Identify the process of determining who/when will submit the final code

​

• Assign roles to each team/student
• Code testers: bugs, errors
• Implement suggested improvements
• Video developers

July 17th Must Haves!

​

• Make a new alliance name! (submit by tomorrow - July 17th - 3:00pm Local Time)
• Create a 2-3 sentence introduction about your Alliance. (July 17th - 3:pm local)
• 3-5 appropriate/respectful potential questions for the Astronaut! (July 17th - 3:pm local)

​

Working with the ISS and its crew requires a lot of planning and vetting. By completing the information above you are helping us to better prepare the astronauts for a smooth finals event.

Fun Ideas

​

• Make a joint logo or mascot!
• Take some screenshots of your collaboration!
• Create a video of your new strategy
• Research Expedition 71 Crew and Research
• Research CORDS & More on Space Debris

​

Space Debris

Importance of Researching Space Debris:

• Most “space junk” is moving very fast. It can reach speeds of 4.3 to 5 miles per second. That’s almost seven times faster than a bullet. Since it is moving so quickly, a tiny piece of orbital debris can cause a lot of damage.
• Research helps improving tracking and removal technologies, ensuring the safety of current and future space missions!
• Studying space debris helps develop strategies to lower potential risks and protect space assets.
• We can develop more ways to cut down on Space Waste!

The simulation may not be as it appears…
