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.
