Build an Arduino Mars Rover

The Museum of Radio & Technology is hosting a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) one-week Summer Camp where participants will build a four-wheel drive Arduino Mars Rover controlled by an onboard Arduino microcontroller.

It is going to be the week of June 16th, 2025. This Summer Camp is geared to students 12 to 16 years old. The Mars Rover Project is designed so each student achieves an understanding of a system design. The project covers the construction and discussion of Rover subsystems as micro controller, sensors, and remote control. The course focuses on the assembly of mechanical and electronic components to complete an operational Mars Rover that the student can keep.

The cost will be $250.00 per participant. The classes start on Monday morning at 10:00am and run to 3:00pm each day. Lunch is from 12:00 to 1:00pm and students need to bring their own lunch except for Friday. The Museum will be hosting a Pizza party that day for all of the students and staff.

The class will be held at the museum at 1640 Florence Avenue, Huntington, WV 25701.
