This project will help students understand the engineering process by allowing them to design a robotic insect for an extraterrestrial environment. Students will design their robotic insect to meet the requirements of a given environment; adapt their designs to changes in or new information about the environment and compare the process to the one NASA engineers use to design robots for other planets, like Mars.
Tips for remote instruction (virtual learning) are included.
