Today, the 3rd graders started their day by presenting their Earth/Mars comparison presentations to a few of their peers and giving and receiving feedback on their presentation. We then moved on to brainstorming a list of limitations and considerations for building habitations on Mars. The students and I also co-created a list of success criteria for a Mars habitation creation project. Then they got to work! The vast majority of the students were very excited and engaged in the design process. Some students are creating posters to display their designs while others are making slideshows, videos, 3D models, or even using an online 3D building design program! I can't wait to see what they came up with and then facilitate the comparison of their ideas to those of some current space scientists and architects.
