East Central Science Club HERC Team

This year, the ECHS Science Club was chosen to participate in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC), a competition where students design, build, and test human-powered vehicles capable of traversing an obstacle course filled with challenging terrain and various mission tasks. The team must also design and build a task tool to complete these tasks, and present all their research, designs, and finished products to teams of NASA engineers and STEM professors.

We have taken on this project to promote STEM innovation and invention in our region for student groups of all ages and backgrounds. We are so excited to travel to the NASA Center in Huntsville, Alabama to race our rover. However, we are responsible for the costs of materials, construction, and travel costs for our team and vehicle to and from Huntsville, AL.

We appreciate you taking the time to consider donating to our mission.
