Teams rotate through fast survival stations for air, water, food, shelter, and energy using resource tokens, clue cards, simple habitat maps, and surprise mission cards such as dust storms or oxygen loss. Students must keep astronauts alive, rank their top five design priorities, and defend trade-offs with evidence from each station. The class closes with a short debrief connecting station failures to the driving questions and the engineering design process.
