At a challenge event held at the University of Idaho last June, students demonstrated their ability to navigate their rover down into a simulated crater, around various obstacles, and back up a steep ramp to exit, advisor Heather Heyer Moremen said.
Throughout their visit, the four students able to make the trip participated in a VIP bus tour, and visited the Vehicle Assembly Building, where they observed a team practicing stacking rocket components in preparation for the arrival of the Space Launch System.

SAGLE — The Kennedy Space Center had some special visitors in August when four Sagle Elementary students traveled across the country to cap off their Artemis Rover Observation And Drone Survey challenge.
The Artemis ROADS program, put on by Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pathways and funded by NASA, offers students a chance to explore STEM concepts through hands-on activities.
“ROADS takes inspiration from real NASA projects and guides students on a space-related mission,” NWESSP officials said on the group’s website. “Each year, we update ROADS to tackle different science and engineering problems and to visit different solar system bodies.”
