The game I chose to play was NASA\u2019s \u201cArtemis Missions\u201d. After playing the game for 10 mins I had already learned about Newton\u2019s laws and why NASA is conducting another launch to the moon. The one downside that I will note is that the set up took a while. If I was to do this with a younger class I would do it with an older buddy class to mitigate my own stress.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sashatrickey.opened.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9711\/2026\/03\/IMG_2852-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-224\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we had the opportunity to attend a virtual workshop about Minecraft Education.
