Recorded NISE Network Online Workshop - Preparing for NASA Perseverance's landing on Mars
On February 18, 2021, after a seven-month journey, NASA’s Perseverance Rover will land on Mars and begin its mission to study Mars’ habitability. In this NISE Net online workshop, Jim Bell, a planetary scientist and author in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University, talked about the science behind this mission and the Perseverance Rover and what it takes to land on Mars. NISE Net developers also shared new and existing resources featuring Mars rover content you can use to engage your audiences. -
Recorded Introduction to the Mission to Mars Student Challenge from NASA JPL - Watch on YouTube
Lead students in designing and building a mission to Mars with a guided education plan and resources from NASA, join in live Q&As with experts, and share student work with a worldwide audience. The Mars Student Challenge culminates February 18, when students can land their missions along with the Mars Perseverance Rover! To participate as a museum, register for the Challenge and list your affiliation as ‘Out-of-School-Time Program’. -
