Mars for Students

Imagine a place colder than Antarctica with a volcano three times taller than Mt. Everest. Get ready to explore Mars and discover what space exploration is all about.

If you're a student, you'll learn to think like a space scientist by creating Mars missions and building spacecraft. Once you've completed your Mars mission, head over to Just for Kids for more spacey games and activities.

For teachers, there are lessons, resources and programs about Mars along with links to standards in mathematics, science and technology.

Museum curators will find current exhibit information and resources on our Events page.

Tune into NASA TV for lectures from NASA scientists or log onto NASA Quest for online chats and loads of other educational activities.

Mars Student Imaging Project (MSIP) will offer students nationwide, the ability to be involved in authentic Mars research using the data from the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft.

Imagine Mars: A national arts, science and technology initiative that challenges young people to imagine and design a livable Mars community of the future.
