On December 13th at 5:00pm the 5th grade students from Davis Creek Elementary met in the computer lab to provide the 5th grade students from Armadale Primary School in Melbourne, Australia an opportunity to drive our robotics vehicle dubbed the "Mars Red Rover".
The picture above shows the typist, Mrs. Simon, the Mars Red Rover on the computer in the center, and an Australian time converter on the computer on the right.
