MODEL MARS IS A DISTINCTIVE LEARNING PLATFORM FEATURING . . .

Prototype team from Brazil

  • blended learning, offering online, face-to-face, and immersive experiences

  • narrative journeys, collective problem-solving, hands-on building, and cross-cultural communication

  • collective futures designed and built by youth participants

  • systems, future and anticipatory thinking among youth participants

  • interdisciplinary ways to link science and tech to society and culture

  • ways to build and expand youth STEM identity

I really enjoyed the conversations we had about what our “ideal society” would look like.

What additionally distinguishes Model Mars is its multi-layered design, offering participants the opportunity to stay involved through multiple journeys, through Mars community development, and through additional pathways for applied learning in the real world.

There is a lot more to explore about Mars that I still don’t know yet, which is really exciting.
