Mission: Mars

Grades 7 – 12

In 2004 President Bush announced plans to send humans back to the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars and beyond. In this workshop, students become the planning team to send the first manned mission to Mars. Discover what is involved to send people 50 million miles to live on another world, and present your team’s findings to colleagues and discuss which plan is best.

John Powell of Kokomo developed the first mechanical corn picker in the early 1920s.
