Students will learn about NASA's current Mars exploration programs and practice their coding skills as they animate the first flights of the Mars helicopter Ingenuity using the Scratch Programming language. Students will adapt their initial animations to simulate potential future capabilities of the helicopter such as sample collection and real-time control. Their Scratch scripts can be "gamified" by adding counters, timers and random number generators, if time permits.
