If you’re looking for a great summer project for your kids, a neighborhood group or youth organization, the MoonBots Challenge is one you should examine closely. The challenge encourages teams of three to five youths to explore space, robotics and science through an exciting STEM-based program. The competition consists of two phases; in the first phase, simple biographic information is submitted, along with a video essay. Teams selected for the second phase build and program a Mindstorms robot to accomplish a series of tasks that replicate a lunar mission. Registration is free, but the deadline is at the end of the month. So, go to the site and register today!
