Lunar Outpost to Settlement Senior Design Team
Students- Jamal Gibson, Sadnima Khan, Jason Smith, Colton Sizemore, Matt Wilson, Zachary Hannis, Andrew Plumb
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University: Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering
This will be a hands-on activity where the students participate in a Lego Mindstorm competition and take their excavate regolith on the “lunar surface”. The Lego Mindstorm kits will be borrowed from Virginia Tech’s Student Engineering Council.
There will be four demonstrations each lasting 30 minutes where a group of students will come to the booth and will be given a brief introduction to the project. The students will then have five minutes to brainstorm ideas on collecting the regolith by choosing different Lego Mindstorm robots. They will have three chances to collect as much regolith as possible and the student who has collected the most will win a prize. After the competition there will be a lecture on why regolith needs to be harvested. These lectures and activities will then be posted on youtube.com.
