My situation is probably a little better than yours since we have 16 sets of Lego Dacta. Since we want to get the whole school involved in the Live from Mars program, we will be running a contest for all 6th grade students to design a rover. My computer applications classes will be divided into groups to design a rover from the Lego kits. Since there are three classes we will probably have groups of four students to a group. But I have been waiting for the material on the rover from the planetary society before we can think of starting. Do you know why the telecast that is planned will not cover the launch of the pathfinder in December? That is the mission that seems to get the most positive reaction from teachers here and students also. We have Macs in our building, and we are currently putting in an ethernet system, can we access the rover in our building and also access through the internet and the 386 we obtained? Will we need to set up two rovers in the area? Take care for now, Rose.
