Students simulate a Mars mission, programming a rover to navigate terrain, avoid obstacles, and collect fuel using coordinates and motion commands. They analyze movement data, calculate speed, and service rover components by testing sensors. Collaborative problem-solving integrates coding, math, and engineering to complete tasks like fueling a rocket for return to Earth. The setting fosters STEM skills through hands-on, scenario-based challenges.
