Join "Mars Ingenuity Helicopter" on Robociti to get introduced the last mission by NASA to explore Mars, which includes the newest Mars Rover Perseverance with all its new features, and the Helicopter Ingenuity, the first flying device to be sent to Mars' surface to explore the Red Planet from above but much closer to its surface than any satellite can get. Students will learn how to use Scratch and its interface to design their own helicopter, much like Ingenuity, and a simple game of a helicopter flight simulation, where they can avoid obstacles to reach various goal locations. Finally, students are challenged to add more rules and details to the game to customize it even further, letting their creativity explore different possibilities.
