About the Challenge
The Human Exploration Rover Challenge challenges high school, college and university students around the world to design, build and test their own lightweight, human-powered rovers on a course that simulates lunar and Martian terrain, all while completing tasks mission-focused science. Qualifying teams compete to be among the top three finishers in their divisions and win multiple awards including Best Vehicle Model, Best Starting Team and more.
The challenge attracts hundreds of students from around the world every year and reflects the goals of NASA's Artemis campaign, which will land the first woman and the first black person on the Moon.
The event was launched in 1994 as NASA's Great Moon Race, a collegiate competition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It expanded in 1996 to include high school teams, evolving again in 2014 in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge. Since its inception, more than 15,000 students have participated with many alumni now working in the aerospace industry, including NASA.
The Human Exploration Rover Challenge is managed by NASA's Southeast Regional Office of STEM Engagement in Marshall and is one of eight Artemis Student Challenges. NASA's Office of STEM Engagement uses challenges and competitions to further the agency's goal of encouraging students to pursue degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
