Elementary students have been fascinated with the video footage of the landing of NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover that STEM teacher Amy LaPoint shared with them! Kristen Patnode channeled that excitement into a P.E. challenge for her students: to create a vehicle that Astronauts could use on Mars. She laid out all sorts of equipment and gave a few requirements - the vehicle had to move across the gym (Mars) and have a covering to protect the Astronauts. The students used their bodies and brains to build these amazing "Mars rovers!" Kudos to our students for their inventions and to our inventive teachers!
