Edison Bot: "Good Night, Oppy"
by Tessa Cassano
This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or videos, and create an "end of life" final message for the bot. Through this three day lesson, students will also be introduced to some of NASA's Mar Rovers and the important work they are doing.
