This activity will introduce young people to NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER). The primary focus of the activity is for students to collaboratively program an Edison robot to follow the path the VIPER will take on the lunar surface. Youth will also have the opportunity to build on to Edison to collect a mock ice sample.
