Lesson .
Students use real data from the Perseverance Mars rover to create a system that can monitor and test the MOXIE instrument.
Teachable Moment .
Find out how the now famous video beamed from space, showing a cat chasing a laser, marked a milestone for space exploration, and find resources to engage students in related STEM learning.
Student teams use block coding or python to program separate components of the Mars Sample Return mission, then combine their projects into a single system.
Students use a visual programming language to create a Mars helicopter exploration game.
Students code microcontrollers to send and receive radio signals, simulating communications between Earth and spacecraft.
As NASA retires its InSight Mars lander, here's a look at some of the biggest discoveries from the first mission designed to study the Red Planet's interior – plus, how to make connections to what students are learning now.
Student Project .
In this challenge, you will build and program a light-powered device that can move to collect as much light as possible while not overheating.
Use Python to create a game inspired by the way NASA explores Mars with rovers.
Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.
In this advanced programming activity, students will construct a light-wavelength detector to model future technology for communicating with spacecraft.
Students use a visual programming language to create a video game that simulates the process of collecting samples on Mars.
Use coding and computer science to simulate how NASA lands spacecraft on Mars during the process known as entry, descent, and landing, or EDL.
Find out how the rover has been "souped up" with science instruments, cameras and technologies to explore Mars in new ways.
Students model the position of the planets around the Sun and then model viewing them from Earth on any given date.
Students kinesthetically model the mathematics of how NASA communicates with spacecraft.
