Marsville History
Marsville, the Cosmic Village was originally developed by the Challenger Center for Space Science Education, an organization founded by the family members of the Challenger 51-L crew to continue the crew's educational mission to teach, to explore and to inspire. It is a non-profit educational organization committed to strengthening the scientific and technical understanding of middle-school students. The Marsville program is one of a series of educational activities originally sponsored by Challenger Center.
The purpose of the Canadian National Marsville Program is to create a positive vision for young Canadians of the technological society they will inherit in the 21st century. The program shows students how they can play a role in establishing the kind of society they want for the future. Marsville has been designed for students in Grades 5 to 12. While the primary educational thrust of Marsville is math, science and technology, the project uses a cross-curricular, holistic approach integrating various disciplines.
