Artemis Companion Course PD

Our companion course program offers units and lessons for educators to integrate concepts from our ROADS challenges into their classrooms. Lessons are provided at upper elementary, middle school, and high school levels. To launch our new companion course each year, we also offer educator professional development (PD) to introduce teachers to the materials and activities.

For our 2022–2023 Artemis ROADS companion course, we will offer two PD workshops, one in August and one in October. The workshops are two days each. Please note: These workshops are for teachers who will be using the course in their classrooms. A workshop tailored specifically for Mission Advisors interested in leading a Challenge will be held separately.

Times: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 12:30–2:30 p.m. PDT (both days)
Optional Help Session: 8–10 a.m. PDT on August 11th
