STEM LEARNING RESOURCES

On February 18, NASA will attempt to land the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover on the surface of Red Planet, and you can join the excitement with  NASA’s Mission to Mars Student Challenge. In participating classrooms and informal education groups, students, families, and individuals can design, build, and land their own spacecraft.

The challenge offers:

  • A flexible, guided five-week education plan for elementary, middle, and high school students with standards-aligned STEM lessons and activities from NASA.
  • A weekly newsletter with links to tips and resources related to the mission phase of the week.
  • Video conversations with mission scientists and engineers highlighting how their work relates to what students are learning – plus, ideas to kick-start the weekly challenge.
  • Opportunities to participate in Q&As with mission experts and submit student questions and work that could be featured during NASA broadcasts leading up to and on landing day.
  • See this video on the Perseverance Rover: Perseverance Arrives at Mars: Feb. 18, 2021 (Mission Trailer & Student Challenge) – YouTube
