LEGO Space Challenge Curriculum (WIP)

Note: In the beginning, I’ll be just typing along to the LEGO Space challenge to then figure out my own thing…

The main page for the LEGO Space Challenge is here: Space Challenge | MINDSTORMS EV3 Unit Plan | LEGO® Education

Introduction

Well, we’ll need some kind of intro to this… I’m skipping this so far

LEGO building

So to kick things off, we’ll build 6 LEGO models.

The cool thing is that we can build them all at the same time…

  • Communication Station and Satellite
  • Flight Crew
  • Crater, MSL robot and rock samples
  • Solar Panel
  • Rocket and Launcher
  • Mars Outpost

Ok, so now we have to make sure they are in the right place 😉

First task – Establish communication

Well the story is now that we have to do various tasks and the first task is to get communication set up. See Activate Communications | MINDSTORMS EV3 Lesson Plan | LEGO® Education

I’d love to talk a bit about satellite dishes and stuff, but first we need to do some more building…

And now it gets exiting as we’ll be building our robot who will be doing all the hard work for us

So we are building this guy 🙂

That means
