LEGO Miss Adventure Projects consists of seven challenges to plan and build ways to survive a ship wreck near a tropical island.  Each student group must complete a journal and a LEGOCAD rendering of their model.  The seven challenges are: #1:  Salvage, #2:  Shelter, #3:  Water, #4:  Food, #5:  Signal, #6:  Transportation, #7:  Rescue.  Students are also encouraged to draw a picture of their model and explain how it accomplishes the goals set, and how it aids the ship wrecked islanders to survive until they are rescued.
This vehicle can travel over many different, varied terrains and can also convert to float on the water, if needed.
