Overview
In this unit, students will use the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robotics platform to simulate a fact-finding mission on a newly discovered planet. Using the engineering design process, students learn to code using the EV3-G programming language, which will help them program the EV3 to achieve the goals of the mission: human colonization of the new planet. PowerPoints are provided to familiarize students with the EV3-G programming and EV3 platform.
