| Draw Your Own Space Robot Competition, deadline 1 March |
|
|
Imagine that you have been chosen to be the first person to travel to Mars! The journey will take six months and you will have to travel on your own as there won’t be enough life support facilities for a companion! Draw your own robot to travel with you to Mars which is millions of kilometres away from Earth. Your robot can be any size, shape or form.

The competition is designed for Key Stages 1 (ages 4 – 7) and 2 (ages 7 – 11). A lucky winner will be chosen from each Key Stage age group and will win a BNSC (British National Space Centre) goodie bag, plus book vouchers worth £25. They will also win £75 worth of book vouchers for their school library.
Before you start drawing, here are some questions to think about!
· What is your robot going to be made from? Anything travelling into space must be as light as possible so your fuel does not run out!
· How will your robot move - wheels, legs or will it hover? Will your robot be able to move across the surface of Mars which has winds reaching speeds of up to 350 km per hour.
· How will your robot survive the harsh weather on Mars where temperatures can drop to as low as – 133°C?
All entries must reach the British National Space Centre by 1 March 2007.
Entries must include the entrant’s full name, age, their teacher’s name and school address.
