Remote^3: Remote sensing by Remote schools in Remote environments.

Remote3项目的主要目的是激励下一代学生进入STEM学科，并在此过程中获得很多很多的乐趣！博尔比地下实验室和爱丁堡大学将与五所选定的学校（十个团队）合作，他们将设计，建造和编程乐高头脑风暴机器人，以承担博尔比火星场的一系列挑战。该计划将作为MINAR活动（2020年3月）的一部分通过直播发布，此前MINAR活动的直播已经吸引了全球数千人。学校将与爱丁堡大学的导师合作，在3个月内（夏季学期）解决项目挑战。这些挑战将与博尔比地下实验室联系在一起，乐高机器人将在项目的最后一天在矿山中完成他们的挑战。学校将选择在苏格兰偏远地区（高地和岛屿），学生年龄应在11-12岁（S1/S2）。每个机器人将面临一系列任务，这些任务将在NASA火星场完成，该场位于地下1公里多的博尔比地下实验室。学生们将能够在学校的控制室远程控制他们的机器人，就像火星探测器一样。团队将被鼓励发明新的技术来完成每项任务。如果所需的零件不可用，鼓励（和协助）学生使用CAD软件设计零件，然后可以3D打印并安装到机器人上。这将是一个为期两年的项目。2020年秋季将编写一份中期评估报告，并根据第一年的反馈重新起草资源/挑战。

The primary aim of the Remote3 project is to inspire the next generation of students into STEM subjects and have lots and lots of fun whilst doing it! Boulby Underground Laboratory and The University of Edinburgh will work with five chosen schools (ten teams), who will design, build and program Lego Mindstorm robots to undertake a series of challenges in the Boulby Mars Yard. The programme will be launched as part of the MINAR event (March 2020) via a live stream,- livestreams at previous MINAR events have reached many thousands of people internationally. Schools will work with mentors from the University of Edinburgh, over 3 months (summer term), to address the project challenges. The challenges will be linked to the Boulby Underground Laboratory, and the Lego robots will perform their challenges in the mine on the Project Final Day. Schools will be chosen in remote areas of Scotland (Highlands and Islands) and students should be aged 11-12 (S1/S2).Each robot will be faced with a series of tasks to be completed inside the NASA Mars Yard, situated more than 1 km underground at the Boulby Underground Laboratory. The students will be able to remotely control their robot from their school control room just like the Mars Rover. Teams will be encouraged to invent novel techniques to complete each task. If the parts required are not available, students are encouraged (and assisted) to design the part using CAD software which can then be 3D printed and fitted to the robots. This will be a two-year project. An interim evaluation report, together with a re-drafting of resources / challenges based on year-one feedback, will be produced in Autumn 2020.
