Mission to Mars: Upper secondary

Mission to Mars –  Upper Secondary!

Deliver an authentic, high-impact Mars exploration experience.

Students take complete command of a real robotic rover using multiple live webcams and a precision grabbing claw. They navigate complex Martian terrain, analyse surface data, collect samples, and execute detailed mission objectives – mirroring real NASA rover operations.

Teams must plan strategies, interpret sensor data, manage time constraints and collaborate under pressure.

  • Highly engaging and intellectually challenging for 14–18 year olds
  • Develops advanced skills: systems thinking, data analysis, computational modelling, teamwork and decision-making
  • Excellent curriculum links (Physics, Computer Science, Geography, Design & Technology, Engineering)
  • 45–60 minute sessions online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams or in person with mobile landscape
  • Straightforward setup – one device per team + internet connection
  • Full support with detailed briefings, mission maps and extension resources

Ideal for STEM enrichment, careers programmes, science clubs or cross-curricular projects.
