Students should predict the outcome of a simple investigation, and compare the result to the prediction. During this 90-minute program, students become indispensable members of a design engineering team who work together to build and program a robot. The construction challenges they encounter are based on issues faced by NASA engineers when designing robots for space. Available for Grades 3-8. Programs are individually adapted for each grade level.
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
