Robotics: Engineering a Rocket Transporter — NASA JPL lessonScience · Engineering & Technology · Grades 6–9Lesson plan

Students design, build and program a robotic “super crawler” to transport a payload from a starting position to a target launch pad, use a robotic arm with an end effector to deliver the payload in an upright position and return the robot to the starting point. Students will use the engineering design process to guide them in completing the challenge. Students will: Understand ratio concepts and use rate reasoning to solve real-world problems. Create an engineered model, limited by criteria and
