Howell Police Athletic League

Students will design, create and code a Martian rover using LEGO® Brick robotics sets in this hands-on workshop.We will continue the fun by designing and coding our own Lego Brick Robotic Aliens, Satellites, and Space Crafts!

In this workshop, students work in small teams to design and build a LEGO Martian rover. They then code, test and evaluate their designs before seeing how their rovers perform on a realistic Martian surface.

• Students discover the importance of space exploration, how NASA scientists are actively involved and why using models such as LEGO is important for engineers.
• Students will follow a basic prototype to build a rover, which they will then learn to code using LEGO Brick robotic sets.
• Students will decide on the aims for their rover and build, to a given specification, appropriate tools for their challenge.
• In an exciting finale, students will see how their rovers perform on a large-scale realistic Martian surface.
