Rover Explorers: The Mars Challenge

Celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science with an out-of-this-world Mars mission at W5 LIFE.

Inspired by real Mars explorers like the Rosalind Franklin rover, and the Perseverance and Curiosity Mars missions, this hands-on experience puts families in the role of space engineers tackling a high-stakes mission on the Red Planet.

Design and build your own Mars rover using K’NEX, power it up with a Sphero RVR, and navigate a Mars-themed arena to collect surface samples. Can your team overcome obstacles, complete the mission, and return safely to base?

Along the way, discover the incredible contributions women make to space science and engineering through interactive challenges and displays designed to inspire the next generation of explorers.

Suitable for ages 8-14.

In partnership with ASDC.

This event is free to drop in during either session. No booking is required.
