Educator Workshop: Engineering a Journey to Mars

When: Saturday, Feb. 10, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California

Target Audience: Teachers for grades 4-12

Overview: NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has two exciting missions to Mars launching in 2018 and in 2020. Before they launch, get familiar with the processes that scientists and engineers use to create these missions – and learn how to take students on the same journey using standards-aligned lessons from NASA/JPL Edu. Together, we will design Mars missions and build a landing system to ensure the spacecraft arrive safely – all to advance our understanding of the Red Planet.
