A team of students from a London, Ont., elementary school has won the Lunar Rover Research Challenge.
Team Selene at Lambeth Public School was one of four winners of the national space competition.
More than 3,500 youth from across Canada participated in the competition, which was offered by Let’s Talk Science, Canadensys Aerospace Corporation and Avalon Space.
Winners of the competition have the opportunity to virtually control a Canadensys lunar rover in a moon-like environment, allowing them to interact with technology that’ll be part of Canada’s upcoming space mission.
