Designing a mission to Mars requires creativity, scientific reasoning, engineering solutions and even a little bit of luck. Join Pacific Science Center in their portable planetarium and mobile Tinker Tank in this hands-on workshop where you will plan, design, and test solutions to the many challenges of a mission to Mars. Using simple materials, this activity can be replicated in your classroom to weave NGSS engineering practices into astronomy and other STEM content (designed for grades 3-8, although all are welcome!). This opportunity brought to you in part by the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center and the Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline.
