Geek Out: Mars Survival Challenge
Do you have what it takes to survive on Mars?
Find out when you attempt to design and build your own base on the Red Planet. Dr. Pascal Lee, cofounder and chairman of the Mars Institute, and the Principal Investigator in the NASA Haughton-Mars Project, will provide some tips as well as a briefing about what conditions are like on Mars and the challenges faced by astronauts who travel there.
See if you’ve got what it takes to survive the challenge and, if you choose, film a short clip of your base; LHS will upload it so that friends and family can remotely experience all the nerdy fun you had!
About LHS Geek Out:
You know who you are… You think Fantasy Football is even better than the real thing and that a spreadsheet is a perfectly reasonable way to keep track of past relationships.
You’re already designing an art car for next year’s Burning Man, and you can’t stop talking about the endemic plants of the genus Ipomea that were recently put in to protect the coastal zone near your home.
Well, we’ve got some good news for you: Beginning Wednesday, October 21, it’s time to let your Geek flag fly!
Come to Lawrence Hall of Science, grab a drink and a friend, and get ready for some downright nerdy fun. All events include full access to exhibits, a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, and of course the best view in the East Bay.
