Scientists and engineers have always been challenged to explore hostile habitats and remote, dangerous places to make new discoveries and rescue those in need. To do this, they have designed satellites, rovers and robots that help them to enter and document previously inaccessible places. Taking inspiration from the collection and using LEGO® We.Do software, the Brick Club will build and code vehicles to explore these hostile habitats and rescue unwary scientists from danger! www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk
