A senior aerospace engineering design class at the University of North Carolina formed a successful collaboration with 100 sixth-grade science students at Carnage. Students designed and tested prototypes of a wind-driven Mars rover for NASA that were displayed at the Festival of Flight in Fayetteville.[6][7]
