Eight missions. Skills that build together.

  1. 1. Crater Field

    Learn how to place commands in the right order so every rover step makes sense.

  2. 2. Signal Relay Ridge

    Practice movement and turns to guide signals across rocky Martian ridges.

  3. 3. Repair Robo

    Spot broken instructions and fix them so the helper robot can get moving again.

  4. 4. Meteor Patrol

    Use repeat patterns to patrol faster and keep the mission path tidy.

  5. 5. Alien Door

    Choose between actions with IF and ELSE to open the right path.

  6. 6. Martian Command Center

    Combine earlier skills and look for smarter, cleaner command paths.

  7. 7. First Python Transmission

    Meet beginner Python structure and the first ZorpCode movement functions.

  8. 8. Spaceship Rescue

    Complete a three-stage rescue by combining everything from Book 1.

Practice sequencing, relative movement and turns, debugging, repeat loops, IF/ELSE decisions, efficient planning, and beginner Python helpers before the final rescue.
