LEGO Curiosity Kits

To further my own effort of contributing to the outreach for the Mars Science Laboratory mission, I created seven LEGO Curiosity Kits (one for each successful Mars landing) that I have been donating to various museums and organizations to help out with their own educational programs.

 

Kits have been sent to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum locations at the National Mall Building in Washington, D.C and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. Additional Curiosity Kits have gone to Scienceworks at Museum Victoria in Australia, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Mars Public Engagement Office, and The Planetary Society. One kit was also donated to the Charity Auction at the 2012 Brickfair LEGO fan convention in Virginia. The final kit has gone to the Solar System Ambassadors Program.

 

Instructions in .pdf form and LEGO Digital Designer files are available on my LEGO CUUSOO page for any educators or enthusiasts who would like to build their own rover. Please take a moment to support this model on CUUSOO if you would like to see it become an official LEGO set.
