High school and university student teams are challenged to design, build, test, and compete with a human-powered rover capable of traversing challenging terrain. Teams are also tasked with creating a specialty tool for completing simulated Artemis mission tasks.

Teams earn points by presenting designs and documentation to expert panels, engaging with other students in STEM education, and successfully completing course obstacles and mission tasks at the in-person culminating event.

The in-person challenge will take place April 19-20, 2024, in Huntsville, Alabama.
