If engineering is more up your alley, try your skills at protecting precious cargo during perilous descent onto Martian surface: much like Mars rovers have to survive the landings on the red planet, your task will be to create a safe descent contraption for our cargo – or else we might have omelette for dinner! Join Rok from the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium and Geopark staff to work in a team of three to make and test your own mars lander in this fun 30 mins workshop.

This workshop is funded by Shared Island and Cavan Ireland as part of Cruinniu na nÓg
