In this educational project coordinated by Cité de l’espace, students learn computer programming step by step using specially designed educational robots and work together to prepare for a major collaborative challenge organized by Cité de l’espace, either in person or remotely. Follow the Martian exploration missions and the adventures of the Perseverance robot with your students, discover the red planet, and practice piloting rovers!
