Martian Greenhouse aims to empower, excite, and engage students by launching a mission to grow plants on Mars. Through weekly meetups, high school/ middle school students create a dynamic Project Proposal, which includes designing, planning, and collaboration with aerospace subject matter experts and other students.
By the end of the term, students will be exposed to the basics of project management, considerations for the spaceflight environment, and basics of habitat design.
Mentors are the engineering guide for an assigned student group. Through weekly tag-ups, you answer questions and guide the design thought process of students as they form the greenhouse.
University students act as guides during the weekly Tuesday meetings to encourage students during their weekly mini presentations in the breakout sessions. In the breakout sessions, two teams are paired with one university student.
SME presenters give a 15 min presentation on the topic of their choice and 5 min for Q/A during one of our Tuesday weekly meetings.
You are not expected to teach, mainly listen, give feedback as necessary, and provide your insight. The MGH design team is available for questions or concerns you may have throughout the program.
