INSIGHT FROM
MARS
Insight from Mars
When astronauts travel to space, they communicate every day with mission control about what they see and what they learn. This is your opportunity to imagine that you are the first human explorer on Mars. Think about the things you might discover and the questions your friends or family might ask about your mission.
Code your discovery in Scratch and share your animated story about something exciting you have discovered on the surface of Mars!
