Students take full control of a real robotic rover using multiple live webcams and a precision grabbing claw. They navigate a realistic Martian landscape, analyse terrain, collect samples, and complete challenging mission objectives – just like NASA’s rover teams.
Teams plan routes, interpret data, make critical decisions and work under realistic time pressure.
- Highly immersive and motivating for 11–14 year olds

- Strong curriculum links (Science, Geography, Computing, Design & Technology, PSHE)
- 45–60 minute sessions online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams or in person with mobile landscape
- Simple setup – one device per team + internet
- Full teacher support with briefing, detailed maps and differentiated objectives
