Students design, build and program a robotic “super crawler” to transport a payload from a starting position to a target launch pad, deliver the payload in an upright position and return the robot to the starting point.

In this robotics challenge, students will program a rover to use a color sensor on several rock samples, allowing them to simulate how the Mars rover Curiosity collects geological samples by drilling into them then using a camera to analyze the light emit

In this challenge, students must program a rover to get from point A to point B on a map without driving across any of the craters located between the two points.

These 60-second videos answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our planetary neighbor, Mars, and the spacecraft that explore it.

Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate how many times the Mars rover Opportunity's wheels rotated to get the rover to a marathon distance.

Students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate how far the Curiosity rover has traveled on the Red Planet in this illustrated math problem.

This infographic features four real-world math problems involving NASA spacecraft and science, and the mathematical constant pi.

In this activity, students learn how light and energy are spread throughout space. The rate of change can be expressed mathematically, demonstrating why spacecraft like NASA’s Juno need so many solar panels.
