Rover Races

3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Event Details

In honor of our One Book One Community title, “Hidden Figures,” teens will explore an important aspect of space exploration. NASA currently has the Curiosity Mars Rover exploring Mars with the mission of determining if Mars was ever able to support microbial life. It is an unmanned robot, so how does it know what to do? How does NASA communicate with it and give it commands? Teens will work in teams to simulate this process. Teams will race each other to determine the most effective team.
