MISSION TO MARS WORKSHOP
What does it take to get us to Mars? What are the things we would have to do to live on the red planet? In this out-of-the-world workshop, we will discuss the challenges of getting and living on Mars. What kind of rocket do we need? What would a colony on Mars look like? How do we grow food and produce oxygen to breathe? We try some hands-on experiments to discover the answers to some of these questions.
Date: Saturday, May 11th, 1 - 3 PM
Ages: 6 - 11 Fee: $30
