Mars Resource Transport Build Challenge
by Gina Feilbach
In this engaging lesson, students will design and build a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources. The transport will be used for carrying resources on Mars to get water, food, and oxygen from different locations on Mars to the colony location.
