Produced by NASA, "the Imagine Mars Project is a national arts, sciences and technology education initiative that has harnessed America's fascination with space and led young people to work together with educators and civic leaders to design a Mars community for 100 people." After reading an overview of the Mars Project, educators and students can discover examples of the incredible activities they can undertake including launching a rocket and composing an opera. The site encourages kindergarten through twelfth grade participants to upload their own project onto the Web site for all to view. Users can also download the The Imagine Mars Web Cast with special hosts Bill Nye, The Science Guy, and Debbie Allen. Teachers may want to periodically visit this site because Resources for Educators and Project Leaders will soon be added.
