About

In this interactive workshop, discover how we use robots to explore other planets. Put your scratch coding skills to the test by programming your own robotic rover to collect rock samples on Mars.

Extension Option A (default option): Once you have successfully programmed the Mars rover to collect your rock samples, expand your skills by navigating a route back to the analysis site.

Extension Option B (please indicate on booking form to request): Once you have successfully programmed the Mars rover to collect your rock samples, you will work scientifically to investigate which Martian material will be best for building homes on the planet.
