Mission to Mars

Parents, we are getting close to our Mission to Mars event at Weber State on April 26th. I still need one more parent volunteer for the Mars Martian habitat group. Check with your student to find out which group they are in since you will stay with that group. Siblings may not attend. Students have to work together to create a life support system. It is based their idea and it will be their creation. They need to work together to bring the supplies they will need. As soon as we get all of the supplies, we can begin building! I have included a list of the items that students have volunteered to bring. If you cannot bring the item you were assigned, please let me know as soon as possible. Don’t forget to turn in the two permission forms that were sent home. Thanks!
