Countdown to Link-up Day
Start of mission:
January 28 2010
Link-up Day:
April 30 2010

Welcome! Grade 6-8 students from across Canada are invited to simulate habitation of the "Red Planet"!
Students prepare for their adventure by studying space exploration and the planet Mars. In teams, they design and build life support systems and communicate with other sites. On Link-up Day, they come together to build a Mars habitat and showcase their survival systems.
A fun way to explore the Earth and Space Science curriculum - with lots of cross-curricular ideas and activities!
