NASA Mars Perseverance Rover
- Grades: 4+
- Number of Students: 1
- Number of Lessons: 1 build
- Number of Build Hours: 20
Highlights:
The CircuitMess NASA Mars Rover is a DIY kit that lets you build a working model of a Mars rover, similar to NASA's Perseverance. It's designed to be both a fun, hands-on project and a way to learn about robotics, electronics, and space exploration.
Build your own Mars Rover
This isn't just a model. It's a fully-functional, buildable Mars Rover replica, inspired by NASA's Perseverance. Get ready to build and learn!
Control, command & explore
Take command of your Rover with a custom-built controller! Drive it around, maneuver its robotic arm, and rotate the camera to capture the Martian landscape (or your living room).
Learn robotics, electronics & wireless communication
Building the Mars Rover is a hands-on learning experience. You'll learn about robotics, motor control, radio frequency (RF) communication, and the electronics that bring it to life.
Your Rover, your code
The Rover is completely open-source. Modify the provided code or write your own software to customize its behavior. Expand its capabilities with additional sensor modules.
Curriculum or Lesson Topics:
