Robots and Space
Today we are discussing one of the most exciting topics of our time – robotics in the context of space exploration and the Moon. We will talk about the challenges faced by developers of lunar robots, how they are designed and operate, as well as consider their future applications in missions to Earth's natural satellite.
The theoretical part will be followed by a workshop on assembling a lunar rover model. This is a great opportunity for everyone who wants to learn more about the principles of these amazing machines and even try their hand at constructing their own miniature rover.
Masterclass Plan
- Introduction: Tell participants about lunar rovers, their history and purpose.
- Materials and Tools: Discuss necessary materials and tools for assembling a lunar rover model.
- Step-by-Step Guide: Provide a step-by-step assembly guide for the model.
- Practice: Conduct a practical session where participants can assemble the model themselves under the guidance of the instructor.
- Testing: Allow participants to test the assembled model and see how it works.
- Conclusion: Summarize the lesson and answer participants' questions.
Master class results and Testing of acquired knowledge and skills
After the class, each team of participants цшдд have a self-assembled model of a lunar rover.
The class efficency is confirmed by answers to the following test questions:
- What are the main components of a lunar rover?
- What specific features should be considered when choosing materials for assembly?
- Compare different designs of lunar rovers.
Essential equipment for classes
- 5 Lunar Rover Kits.
- 10 AA batteries, 1.5V each.
- A screen (projector) or TV with sufficient size for streaming the teacher's workstation.
- A camera capable of displaying its image on the screen.
