Idaho Teaching Engineering to CHildren (TECH)

Are YOU ready to take the Mars Rover Challenge? 
Idaho TECH is a science and technology competition sponsored by the NASA Idaho Space Grant Consortium (ISGC). Students design and construct Mars Rover models out of Lego and non-lego components which they test in preliminary design competitions (PDC'S). At the final design competition students, their parents and teachers have the opportunity to meet a special guest. The 2008 Idaho TECH special guest was Austin Howard, a University of Idaho Graduate and NASA Ames intern!
