Students gain valuable hands-on experience designing and constructing a mock-up Mars Rover or habitation, culminating in a showcase of their creations.
The UH Mars Rover Explorers camp offers students entering 3rd-8th grade an exciting opportunity to delve into the world of robotics and engineering. Participants gain valuable hands-on experience by designing and constructing a mock-up Mars Rover or a habitation module for a simulated science and engineering mission. This project-based learning experience builds upon classroom knowledge, encouraging students' inventiveness and problem-solving skills through interactive lessons. Throughout the week, campers engage in the engineering design process, learning about the mechanics and principles behind space exploration and robotic systems. The program culminates in a showcase where students present their unique mock designs, demonstrating their understanding and creations. This immersive camp fosters an appreciation for STEM fields and equips young explorers with practical skills in design, construction, and scientific inquiry.
A typical day involves hands-on design and construction activities of a Mars Rover or habitation, incorporating interactive lessons on science and engineering principles.
Ideal for students entering 3rd-8th grade who are curious about space exploration, robotics, and hands-on engineering challenges.
