STEM DIGITAL ACTIVITY PACK
DESIGNING YOUR OWN MARS BASE Grades 3–7 | Ages 8–12 | 4–6 Hours | Project-Based Learning
You just crashed on Mars.
The next rescue ship arrives in 182 sols. You don't have enough supplies to survive that long without building something. And the planet is actively trying to kill you.
No pressure.
This is Mission is a full survival engineering challenge where your child becomes the crew member who designs and builds the first human base on Mars.
Using real space science.
What's inside:
Your crew: Marsus, Oppy, Blorp, Lily, and Jake guides your child through every phase of the mission. They'll assess what survived the crash, make real engineering decisions about radiation shielding, power, water, and air, design their base from scratch, and build a 3D model from household materials.
Three reading levels (Cadet, Explorer, Commander) mean every kid has a way in, whether they breeze through it or need to take it slow.
What they'll actually learn:
Why Mars is deadly for humans — and exactly how engineers work around it
How to use real materials (regolith, water, thermal blankets) to solve multiple survival problems at once
How to prioritize under pressure when you can't do everything at once
What it feels like to think like a systems engineer
What you're getting:
This is a digital download: 35 pages, delivered instantly. Available in full color and black and white so you can print whatever works for your printer and your budget. NO PHYSICAL PRODUCT WILL BE SENT.
BORN TO EXPLORE.
