Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars. Plus, *NEW* Outer Worlds Expansion Pack now available!

In this intermediate-level programming challenge, students use microdevices along with light and mirrors to build a relay that can send information to a distant detector.

Students code microcontrollers to send and receive radio signals, simulating communications between Earth and spacecraft.

Students design a robotic insect for an extraterrestrial environment, then compare the process to how NASA engineers design robots for extreme environments like Mars.

Students use simple supplies to model how NASA tracks the location of spacecraft from Earth.

NASA has dozens of robotic spacecraft exploring our solar system – and beyond. So how exactly do we navigate spacecraft that are so far away?

Students will use the engineering design process to design, build, test and improve a model satellite intended to investigate the surface of a planet.

Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

Students will investigate the action-reaction principal (Newton's third law of motion) by creating water-propelled engines and changing different variables to see how their engines perform.
