Mobile Robotics

Use the Personal Exploration Rover 
(PER) to explore mobile robot 
programming. Learn how NASA 
scientists use mobile robots to 
explore the surface of Mars. Use 
an iconic programming language to 
program the PER for a simulated 
Mars mission and other challenges. 
Learn the iconic interface by 
choreographing a dance for the PER. 
Go on an alien hunt through unknown 
terrain. Plan each move carefully to 
get the most out of each Martian 
Sol (or Martian day). Grades 5 – 7. 
(Minimum EXPLORE Math Score = 
11). This is a one-week course that 
meets daily from 9 a.m. – noon.
