Grant Activity:
(Plant) Life on Mars
Purpose:
Together with Space education experts, plant biology researchers, engineers, undergraduate mentors and teachers, students will design and run projects to achieve a Space mission. Embodying STEM skills the project aims to attract students into STEM careers in Space, Agriculture and Food industries.
The space mission places students in the year 2030 where an international group of astronauts has just landed on Mars. To support health and wellbeing on this long-term mission, fresh and tasty plants are grown in carefully monitored Space labs. Astronauts carefully monitor resource supply and demand for sustainable production. A meteorite storm requires the plant-bot to pick and deliver the food to astronauts but can it make it through the Mars terrain unscathed
