Published purpose

The objective of the project is to create Mars and Moon-themed learning modules as a resource for primary school teachers throughout Canada who intend to inspire their students to pursue careers in STEM fields. The first set of modules has already been made freely available, and MSC volunteers have successfully presented one of them to a pilot school in Ontario. Based on this success, we intend to expand this program to include up to 34 learning modules, further hands-on classroom instruction and the development of a mobile classroom known as the Mars Explorer Mobile Education Station (MEMES).
