Build your Mars exploration rover | Teach with space T01

11 DETS. 2019 11808

In brief

Students will design and program a LEGO built rover. Basic instructions are first programmed with the LEGO brick. Then, to remotely control the LEGO-built rover, students will program it with the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 software. The objective is to conduct a space experiment using a scientific approach and collect data. Measurements will be analysed and modelled so that they can be compared with the student’s hypothesis.
