Welcome to the Lunar Rover Research Challenge!
The challenge is for students to design a rover mission to find frozen water at the South Pole of the Moon. The activity is structured as a collaborative board game or digital game where students are guided through the design process. They equip their rover with scientific instruments, choose a target, then determine how to get there and where to take measurements.
Educator Resources
The lesson materials follow evidence-based best practices and have been reviewed by Canadian classroom teachers. All lessons come in no-tech and computer-based options.
The experience is designed around 5 lessons:
2: Review the mission brief and learn how to plan a rover mission on the Moon
3: Plan the mission using an iterative design process scaffolded as a collaborative board game
4: Communicate ideas and prepare for submission
5: Reflect on the experience and explore careers in the space sector
