Edison Bot: "Good Night, Oppy"
This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or videos, and create an "end of life" final message for the bot. Through this three day lesson, students will also be introduced to some of NASA's Mar Rovers and the important work they are doing.

In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons
