Overview:

With NASA's newest rover now officially on its journey to Mars, it's a great time to learn more about plans for the mission and how it will pave the way for future exploration of the Red Planet. Join NASA-JPL manufacturing engineer Leonard Ortiz and education specialist Brandon Rodriguez for a one-hour education webinar to find out how and why we explore Mars and the science we hope to accomplish with the Perseverance rover. 

The live broadcast will also include a Q&A for registered participants. All audiences are welcome. The presentation will conclude with a short discussion for educators about how the content aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and related educational resources from NASA.
