The purpose of this project is to use a Mars theme to excite students about design and engineering and to help them appreciate the importance of renewable energy in a world of limited resources Students were challenged to produce their own energy from wind, to grow food crops using only a limited water supply and to build and test electric vehicles Future Martians will need engineering skills to maximise limited resources.
