In this intermediate-level programming challenge, students use microdevices along with light and mirrors to build a relay that can send information to a distant detector.

Students use a visual programming language to create a video game that simulates the process of collecting samples on Mars.

In this standards-aligned unit, students learn about Mars, design a mission to explore the planet, build and test model spacecraft and components, and engage in scientific exploration.

Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.

Students design and test parachute landing systems to successfully land a probe on target.

This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.

Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars.

Students decide what they want to learn from a robotic mission to Mars and what tools they will put on their robot to accomplish their goals.
