NASA approved the children's designer allows you to build a working model of the rover
In addition to the many challenges and problems solved daily by scientists from NASA, one of the most difficult is to report to a broad public understanding of what all the scientists involved in their laboratories. When it comes to space exploration, ordinary people come to mind the flight of Gagarin, the study of Mars and the Americans on the moon. Educating people, especially children, is an everyday and very easy task for science. In fact, that nine year old child can understand in the infrared, when he makes Saturn papier-mache?
To attend to the issue of training of the younger generation, NASA sovsemstno with New York manufacturer of robotic designers created a set of Space Kit. This modular constructor that allows you to collect different models of equipment used for space exploration. Moreover, the existing models.
Designer aims to introduce children not only with space exploration, 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 researchers and engineers, to share with the children a piece of their cosmos of enthusiasm.
Emphasis in Space Kit is made not so much on the creation of a model, but rather on what to give children an understanding of how to operate certain components, how they interact with each other. Also in the constructor embedded booklet that describes in simple terms some serious scientific experiments that are held by NASA.
