Engineering Design Challenges: Space Themed of Course!!
Coffee on Mars
First, We Get there: Heavy Lifting Rockets (High School) JPL Adaptation
Goal:« Carry your rocket the highest, with the most “mass” (paperclips)« The GOAL is to launch 50 g to the ceiling.Test:Carry your payload as high as possible with as much mass as possible.
Can you design the most efficient rocket?
What defines efficiency?
Design Focus: Iteration

Or, For Younger Spaceketeers:
Next, we have to land! Mars Lander (Middle-High School) JPL Adaptation
Goal:Modify your rocket (cup) to REMOTELY drop your lander (marble) onto the Martian Surface. Test: Slide your cup down the line and try to hit the target with the marble.
Can you hit the Curiosity landing ellipse?
Design Focus: Design Test
On Target!
