Win a Kai Robot
Each month we offer at least one Kai robot as a giveaway to our loyal teacher readers as a way to say thank you.
After a successful landing mission on Mars, it is now time to explore and extract information in order to understand more about the planet. In order to do this, you and your team must establish a settlement for future explorers to live in.
This second phase begins at the home base that has been set up in the middle of Jezero Crater.
You will deploy 3 exploration units, each given a different mission that will further the settlement efforts. These missions include: mining raw materials from several locations; constructing habitats and other amenities and finally, sampling the Martian terrain to determine optimal farming areas.

(continue) I was impressed by the skills you demonstrated which were, creativity, collaboration, and a strong work ethic.
These exact skills are what is needed for future STEM careers at NASA. I want to encourage you to continue your journey of studying robotics, coding, and space.
Keep reaching for the stars, again, congratulations for this outstanding achievement.
