Young scientific minds can build their very own model roving space vehicle to take home.

Scientists send roving vehicles to the surface of Mars to explore and collect samples for study. These rovers are powered by solar panels. 

Participants will embark on an exciting journey of discovery and providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of space exploration.

Young ones can follow our step-by-step instructions as they combine gears, motors and attach solar panels to build their own working model.


All participants must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian for the duration of this workshop.

Please note, all required materials are provided.
