In conjunction with the Calais School ESY program Time Travel theme, Teacher Brittany Tobin took her students into space as well as forward into the future for the program’s final week.

“We looked at constellations and the students designed an informational poster about a constellation of their choice,” Ms. Tobin said. “They also created pull-back rockets to launch.”

In addition, Ms. Tobin took her students “to visit” the international space station and on “an insider tour” of the Space X capsule. “We learned about self-driving cars and artificial intelligence through Toyota’s online learning module,” Ms. Tobin said. The students discussed the pros and cons of artificial intelligence.

The unit concluded with a discussion of the future. “We encouraged students to look ahead at their bright future and what they think the world may look like in the years to come–personally and worldly,” she said.
