The first three workshops will concentrate on the atmosphere, geology, and water on Mars. What would we need to put a settlement on Mars? How do you pack for a 9 month flight in space? The last workshop will celebrate Curiosity’s landing and will build a model settlement out of found materials. Registration for the workshops begins on Thursday, July 5 by calling 794-2570 ext. 560 or online at eastmeadow.info.
August date is subject to change due to Curiosity's landing day.
