Imagine Mars |
This Web Seminar was developed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Arizona State University’s (ASU) Mars Education Program. The event took place on April 29, 2008, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The presenters were Stephenie Lievense, Imagine Mars Project Lead and David Delgado, Outreach Coordinator for NASA's Mars Public Engagement Team. The presenters talked about the Imagine Mars project and gave examples on how teachers can use it with students in the classroom and after school programs.
Imagine Mars, cosponsored by NASA and the National Endowment for the Arts, is a
national arts, sciences and technology education initiative, bringing together schoolchildren,
scientists, artists, and civic leaders to design a futuristic and sustainable Mars
community for 100 people.
Twenty-six (26) participants were present at the live Web Seminar in addition to the presenters and the NSTA staff. Participating educators represented the states of Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. All participants received a one-year subscription to one of NSTA’s SciGuides for completing the evaluation at the end of the program.
Here are some comments provided by the participants at the end of the Web Seminar:

how
to incorporate Imagine Mars.”
