Holyoke Codes would like to invite CSTA teachers to come try out GaleForce, a virtual robotics and coding game where students (grades 3-10) are asked to join the GaleForce Robotics Disaster Relief Team to help San Juan, Puerto Rico to prepare and recover from a hurricane. Students work with a fleet of virtual robots and drones in remote-controlled or block-based coding missions such as evacuation, delivery of supplies, clearing debris from roads, or rescuing lost pets. Teachers will be able to try the game and access lesson plans to use it in their classrooms. The game requires installing on Windows or Mac computers with internet access and firewall permissions (it will not work on Chromebooks or tablets). This workshop will be hybrid with Zoom or in-person attendance at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke if possible.
