Mars Resource Mapping and Collection Challenge
by Gina Feilbach
Students are given a mission to map and collect resources with a robot needed in a Mars colony. Students need to use coordinate points to create a route from a starting point to a destination for their robot to pick up resources.
This is a two 40-minute session activity with an option for a third session using the Buzz Aldrin Foundation Giant Mars Map.
