The Mars Rover Project is one of the efforts of the Purdue Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS). The EPICS team has designed and built this exhibit with its community partner, Imagination Station-Black in Lafayette, Indiana. Applying new and innovative technologies, the ISB team designs interactive and fun exhibits for a local childrens museum. The Mars Rover Project is an exhibit that allows students to navigate a solar-powered rover wirelessly across a mock Martian landscape to make geological discoveries. The purpose of the exhibit is to give visitors a better understanding of the terrain covering the planet, as well as the level of difficulty in sending missions to Mars.
