Is it possible for humans to survive on Mars? Help mankind take a giant step in this information gathering process by constructing a rover that has a wide array of remote sensing capabilities and sending it to the red planet to collect data.

Students will determine the best structure for a sturdy car. Students do not have to attach motors, but the car must roll with wheels and skid plates. Each student pair will test their designs by the drop test. This involves dropping their car from a height of 4in.

Students will explore gears and gear ratios. Students will learn how to use gears properly, efficiently and effectively.
