Celebrate National 4-H Week with a hands-on activity from the MARS Base Camp activity box.

The 4‑H STEM Challenge, formerly known as 4‑H National Youth Science Day (4‑H NYSD), is an annual initiative to inspire kids everywhere to take an interest in science, technology, engineering and math through hands-on learning.For the past 12 years, 4‑H has developed fun, accessible challenges that shows kids how STEM skills can be applied to the world around them.For this activity you will be building a rover. As a team, you need to build a rover that will navigate the surface of Mars. The surface can be uneven and you may encounter features like hills or craters. Look through the Landing Zone Surveyor cards to familiarize yourself with some of the terrain that you might see. You will need to design a rover that can withstand some bumps and jarring. Even though you have some provided supplies, feel free to get creative with your rover, and add supplies as you see fit.For Mars Base Camp Part 2, we will be using our skills learning through coding and scratch demonstration. Youth will be responsible for writing a story script and coding their characters about their mission on Mars. This virtual activity experience is best for youth 8-14 years of age.
