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.

Languages: English, French, Greek, Portuguese,
Age range: 12-16 years old
Keywords: Rover, Mars, mission, program, engineering, experiment, data
Subjects: Technology, Programming, Physics

Students will learn:

  • To recognise and program basic instructions in a block-based computer language

  • To use a robotic tool to explore scientific content

  • To develop scientific experiments and engineering skills for controlling individual experiment parameters

  • To design a rover structure with mechanical constraints

  • To design and evaluate a wheel system based on scientific experiments

  • To collect data with a sensor

  • To analyse data and processes to answer scientific questions

  • To work and communicate together as a team
