Norbert and Zot

In January 2004, the Mars Rover captured the attention of millions of people worldwide. Robots will play greater roles in future space missions. NASA has designed the astronaut's personal assistant to help out in space. In this activity, you will use your problem solving skills to create a Norbot or a Zotbot to accomplish a mission on the International Space Station.

Playing is a great way to learn. The activity is set up so you can play and observe. You can start right away or read the web book for more direction. With Squeak you can challenge yourself to create new Norbots or Zotbots to complete missions you dream up. Have fun and explore.
