You made it to Mars! Your outpost is equipped with supplies to
build the things you will need.
Follow these instructions to construct a rocket, launchpad, and a
rover to explore the surface. We’re relying on your engineering
skills to create closed circuits to bring light to our mission.
Good luck!

Conductive Parts
These parts are where
energy is stored.
The various lights in this set are
powered by the energy.
Power Source EffectConductor
These parts extend your builds
and allow power to ow from
the battery to the effect.
Read all instructions before using your Circuit Explorer™set and keep this guide for reference.

Building a Circuit
Line up the conductive symbols to make a complete loop.
Line up the battery with a conductor and the effect. When connected, these are ready to become a closed circuit.
After the parts are connected, press the power button.
The depressed button closes the loop, allowing the energy to ow. This is a closed circuit!
