Mars: The New Frontier
Campers learn about Mars and tackle some of the challenges confronting scientists in their effort to travel and live on the red planet. Understand how the Perseverance rover—now officially at Octavia E. Butler Landing inside Jezero crater—successfully completed its first test drive on March 4. Students will compare and contrast Earth and Mars and apply the engineering design process to various projects. They’ll learn what are the human needs for space travel and how to establish a permanent settlement on Mars. At the end of the week, the budding scientists and engineers create a 3D model of their new Mars colony.
Participants must be 5 years to 8 years old when the program starts.
