We are a team of teachers and scientists in the USA. This is the home of the “Occupy Mars Learning Adventures science and engineering projects. One of our goals is to exchange information at the elementary, middle and high school levels. We are involved in what we call STEAM++ (science, technology, engineering, visual and performing arts, mathematics, computer languages and foreign languages. Our passion is studying space science. We are conducting a simulation of getting our students ready to become Jr. astronauts, Jr. scientists and Jr. engineers. If we end up ever going to Mars all of our students will be cross trained.
Project No. 1
We are working with a team of three geologists in the USA and we want to analyze rock samples. We want our Russian partners to send us samples of rocks found in Russia. We are willing to do the same. Our students are going to learn how to identify rock samples in our geology classrooms and labs. We want to pretend that we are analyzing rock samples from Mars.
