Aero Workshop: Mars Lander

Put your engineering skills to the test in the Aero Workshop!  Each session is a special 2-hour mini design challenge designed for children ages 8-12.  Each workshop centers on a particular problem in aerospace illustrated by a pair of hands-on experiences.  Participants then work in small teams of 3-5 to design, build and test a working invention, then launching it in a culminating competition.

Investigate the technologies used to land robots on alien worlds, then construct a device able to protect an instrumented payload from shock damage when dropped from altitude!
