The recently constructed Design Lab within the new complex “Curiosity” is an ideal venue for students to build robots and to code them to undertake tasks.
I have been speaking to the children about their future and what it may hold for them. I am fascinated by the NASA program exploring Mars and the ambitions of Elon Musk in transporting equipment and people to Mars for future colonization.
There are currently 5 Martian vehicles on Mars undertaking the exploration program. I believe 4 of them are still in contact with the earth. This is where coding comes in. We are going to need expert practitioners to construct exploration vehicles and engineers to construct rockets to propel this equipment into the Universe to venues such as the planets in our Solar System and beyond. Once the equipment is in situ, coders are needed to instruct the vehicles where to go.
The latest vehicle on Mars has a helicopter on board which can be instructed to launch and collect images from an elevated position.
We need to continue to expand our Vision for future with our students at Holy Family.

Dear Mr white
The robots are good to study because we can know what the robots do in mars so when we grow up we can experience what’s inside the robot.
You can improve and extend their education by learning the electricity or like the future prediction to robots. I like the robots because you can feel like you’re in a robot and they are cool to study.
