A NASA approved child constructor allows you to assemble a working model of the rover

In addition to the many tasks and problems that are solved daily by scientists from NASA, one of the most difficult is to convey to the general population an understanding of what scientists in general do in their laboratories. When it comes to space exploration, an ordinary person comes to mind with the flight of Gagarin, the exploration of Mars and the Americans on the moon. Enlightening people, especially children, is a daily and very difficult task for science. In fact, what can a nine-year-old child understand in infrared communication when he makes Saturn out of papier-mâché?

Concerned about the training of the younger generation, NASA has created a Space Kit with a New York based manufacturer of robotic designers . This is a modular designer that allows you to build models of various techniques used for space exploration. Moreover, the current model.



The designer is designed to acquaint children not only with space research, but also with the basic concepts of electronics. The creators of the designer tried to get away from the Hollywood image of the cosmos. Instead, they wanted to convey the spirit of the researcher and engineer, to share with children a bit of their passion for space.



The emphasis in the Space Kit is not so much on creating a model as on giving children an understanding of how certain components work, how they interact with each other. Also in the constructor is embedded a brochure in which some serious scientific experiments conducted by NASA are described in an accessible form.
