The planetarium outreach team was responsible for the workshop, with more than 15 students participating in this program.
This Mars Robotic workshop was an extraordinary educational opportunity that transported students into the realm of interplanetary exploration. Throughout the workshop, the students harnessed their creativity and problem-solving skills to construct their very own Martian rovers. Guided by the expertise of the planetarium team in robotics and space technology, the students delved into the intricacies of rover design, software programming, and remote operation. This hands-on experience not only enriched their understanding of STEM disciplines but also nurtured teamwork and critical thinking as they tackled real-world challenges faced in extraterrestrial missions. Beyond the technical aspects, the workshop instilled a profound sense of wonder and curiosity about the cosmos, inspiring a new generation of space enthusiasts and potentially future space explorers. As these students embarked on their journey of crafting rovers for Martian exploration, they simultaneously embarked on a journey of self-discovery and intellectual growth, poised to contribute to the advancement of space exploration and innovation in the years to come.
