More Information
Why haven’t we been to Mars yet? In this full-day experience, campers will explore the answer to this question and more as they learn about some of the essentials for space travel and colonization. Look into the history of space travel, build rockets, grow bacteria, test soil viability, and try to design a working human habitat for an alien planet in this SciVentures journey.
