Challenger Repeat Mission
About this event
Same mission, different experience. Our repeat participants will be assigned a new job but will have valuable insider knowledge to help with the succession of the mission!
Our Expedition Mars scenario puts young learners in charge of a simulated flight between Mars and Phobos. For approximately two hours students are transformed into astronauts, scientists, and engineers with a single common purpose – the success of the mission. Teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and decision making skills are put to the test.
*CLICK HERE to view our Mission Job Descriptions chart. You will be asked to pick your top three teams during registration.
Additionally, students will use their STEM skills to program a rover to explore Mars. They will utilize Augmented Reality to start learning about Mars. Then teams will use Ozobots built especially for children to learn how to program and solve real-life problems.
The goal of these lessons are to inspire students to become lifelong learners, and to explore and join the STEM careers of the future.
*Repeat participants receive $5 off!
