Human To Mars Summit Invitation

This was sent to me by Janet herself and when we got to talking, she asked for me to share it here and share not just with scout leaders but also homeschoolers as well! This will definitely make for a fun event!

Here is the information from Human to Mars Summit Below!

Many of you have already signed up with our 100% Discount code for STUDENTMars, just go to https://h2m.exploremars.org/. You can register just your daughters, your sons, and is open to scouts and/or homeschoolers. You can register individually or as a scout troop. For us to get an adequate count of how many students will be in attendance, please register on the website.

Janet’s Planet and Challenger Center are inviting Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Homeschoolers to be part of the Humans to Mars conference at George Washington University on May 8, 2018 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. At the conference, kids of all ages will take part in an exciting, collaborative STEM two part education program. 



FACEBOOK LOVE AND SHARE!

The event will be divided into two parts:

* During Part One (1 hour), 9^th-10^th grade Girl Scouts will experience Challenger Center’s Earth to Mars program. Meanwhile, in a neighboring room, 1^st-6^th grade Girl Scouts will program small robots to successfully traverse the Mars landscape.

* During Part Two (1 hour), the whole group – older and younger Girl Scouts – will come together to design Martian habitats using a drawing program on a Microsoft Surface Pro tablets and 3D printing pens.

These activities are further described in the attached document. 
There will be no cost to Scouts or Homeschoolers to participate.

We are in the process of recruiting troops for the program. Janet Ivey of Janet’s Planet has worked with Girl Scouts in the National Capital region before and has established connections with Brownies, Juniors and Cadette troops. We are now aiming to recruit Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts to run Challenger Center’s Earth to Mars simulation and collaborate with the younger scouts on the engineering challenge during the second part of the program.  

If you know Senior and Ambassador troop leaders we'd like to invite their troops to the program as well and or forward our invitation to them? 

If you know homeschoolers or students who would like to join, invite them too!

AND HERE ARE ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES to consider!

The movie SEAT 25 will be shown in the Lisner Auditorium at 7 PM on Tuesday night following the hands on activities. All are welcome. Meet the director and a panel will follow the viewing. It is a fantastic movie about a girl with a lackluster career who wins the last seat, #25 to leave Earth and go and colonize Mars. It is a great narrative about what will she be giving up to go and take a GIANT Leap in Life. I saw it at a premiere in Los Angeles about a year and a half ago and it is marvelous.  Again just register online.

And THURSDAY's programming might just be the most exciting day of the conference! It will be all about Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality  and how those tools will enable space exploration. Again, just register online.

Food is at the Marvin Center and last year there were also food trucks around GWU and the Lisner Auditorium. Metro is great too! Parking, SpotHero and ParkingWhiz are two apps that might be helpful if you are planning on attending.

We look forward to you attending. I you have any questions, please direct them my way, janet@janetsplanet.com or janetivey@gmail.com.
