Who knew NASA's work could be so sweet? Today's Project: Building an edible Mars Rover (with help from the UW Geology Museum and a grant from NASA) Materials: graph paper pencils a picture of some past rovers assorted candy graham crackers toothpicks frosting paper plates What kids did: First, they listened while our guest instructor told them lots of really interesting information about NASA and the Mars Rovers. Then, she asked them to create a design for their Rover. They were each given 10 million "NASA bucks" and told that each component would cost them 1 million (one graham cracker = 1 million NASA bucks, one peppermint candy = 1 million NASA bucks, etc.), so they had to take budget into consideration (frosting and toothpicks were free). Some kids created elaborate designs: Some labeled the parts: Some labeled which ingredients would go where: And some created a running list of the ingredients they would need in order to create their design, to help them stay on top of the budget problem. Once the plans were pretty much done, the tasty ingredients were distributed to each table and the building began: (I really love how this innovator has incorporated the candy WRAPPERS in his design! Very frugal!) And when they were all done, they were asked to answer at least one of the questions posted on the wall. You can read their responses below: I'll answer the last question myself: One thing I learned today was that adding a budgeting element to this program not only pushed participants to be creative and resourceful with their supplies, it also added an element of realism since NASA (and other engineers) work within tight budgets and must make difficult design decisions all the time. Great program! Thanks UW Geology Museum!

To make a planet model with papier mache, blow up a balloon slightly until you have a round shape, tie off the end, and place the balloon in a bowl. Create your adhesive in a separate bowl, then tear your paper into strips, dip them in the adhesive, and cover the balloon's surface with them. Try to smooth out bubbles and bumps unless you want the planet to have a bumpy texture, then let the papier mache dry overnight. Once it's dry, pop the balloon with a thumbtack, remove it, and paint the planet however you'd like!
