Update: Jan. 23, 2018 – This workshop is full. See below for online lessons and resources related to this workshop.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has two exciting missions to Mars launching in 2018 and in 2020. Before they launch, get familiar with the processes that scientists and engineers use to create these missions – and learn how to take students on the same journey using standards-aligned lessons from NASA/JPL Edu. Together, we will design Mars missions and build a landing system to ensure the spacecraft arrive safely – all to advance our understanding of the Red Planet.

• This workshop is not available online; you must physically be present to participate.
