NEPO Missions

NEPO Missions focuses on learning basic programming concepts and structures using a Mars rover as an example. Players can work their way up from simple instructions to the robot to more complex, nested programmes that depend on specific conditions. At the same time, the game imparts basic knowledge about the function and purpose of the Mars rover. If successful, the Mars rover – depicted in 3D graphics – visibly carries out the previously programmed steps; whilst this does not quite match the sense of achievement provided by physical educational robots, it nevertheless serves as a motivating reward.
