Stem Presentation: Dr. Pandolfi

This was our first STEM presentation this year. Dr. Pandolfi spoke with us about his involvement with the Mars Rover which was launched in 2003. Watch excerpts from his speech and respond to the two questions below the video. If you would like to watch the entire Mars Rover video shown by Dr. Pandolfi, click here.

You can also visit the official NASA site on the Mars Rover: click here....

Or...if you have questions and would like to get answers: click here....

When you respond to these two questions, please reread what you have written to make sure it makes sense.

1. Why was it crucial to the success of the mission that everyone involved was a team player who was able to work well with others (even if they didn't particularly like one or two of the individuals)?

2. There were many STEM careers involved in the planning and executing of this mission. Which one do you think was/would be the most interesting and why?
