Description

As the agency reported it.

Bridging earth and mars (beam): engineering robots to explore the red planet engages the general public and k-8 students in exhibits and programs designed to foster awareness of robotic technology, computer programming, and the challenges and opportunities inherent in NASA missions and s-stem careers. The saint louis science center (slsc) is the lead institution and project site; partners include washington university in ST. Louis, saint lollis university, the ST. Louis regional first robotics organization, and the challenger learning center-ST. Louis. Project goals are to: 1) inform, engage, and inspire the public to appreciate NASA's mission by sharing findings and information about NASA's missions to mars; 2) ignite interest in s-stem topics and careers for d iverse k-8 students; and, 3) encourage students in grades 6-8 to sustain participation in educational experiences along the s-stem careers pipeline. The slsc will design and build a martian surface and panorama w here two rovers can be remotely controlled. Visitors in the mcdonnell planetarium will use controllers to program rover exploration of the martian landscape in real-time. Visitors in slsc's cyberville gallery, located one-quarter mile away across a highway-spanning enclosed bridge, will program the second rover with simulated time lag and view its movements via a two-way camera system. Slsc will organize and host a series of exploring mars: innovation workshops for k-8 students, each featuring activities from current and updated NASA-based science curricula. Participants will be recruited from slsc community partners, w hich include community centers and faith-based programs for underserved families.
