Technology Tipping Point:
Technology Tipping Points: Making the Right
Connections• Robotics is an exciting and engaging vehicle
to stimulate student interest in science, mathematics, technology, teamwork, and communication
• Robotics allows students and teachers to explore engaging projects while applying science, math, and technology knowledge
• Robotics connects curriculum to the real world
Mars Rover Project Partners
• Wichita State University
• NASA
• Boeing Charitable Trust, Co.

Mars Exploration Rover Project
• Study Mars• Build a Mars landscape• Design, build and program a rover• Practice driving on Mars, take pictures, and
use sensors to log data• Trade rovers with another classroom• Explore an unknown landscape• Take pictures and data• Visit and exchange maps
Study Mars
• Use satellite images from NASA (available online)– What types of features are on Mars?– Explore the terrain– How do we know there was or is water on
Mars?– What else can we find out about Mars?
