China Youth Mars Movement

In an effort to raise Mars awareness, China has partnered with ASU to put together a contest to raise student understanding and interest in Mars exploration. Students must race against the clock to build models of the first human outpost on Mars using nothing but materials that can be purchased at the dollar store. China is currently hosting the finals and the top 15 students will be flown to ASU and join 15 American students in a 10 day hands on learning session at ASU's Mars Space Flight Facility in the School of Earth and Space Exploration.
