Sponsored by IBM Canada, this project was a collaboration between students from Computer Science (BSc), Education (MEd) and Interactive Arts & Science (BA).

The student team built an autonomous rover — a simplified version of NASA’s Mars Rover — and wrote an instructional guide that is part of an open-sourced, inexpensive kit for students to take home, build and learn from.

The Arduino programming kit will be distributed by IBM Canada, free of charge, to Grade 8 students across Canada.
