Mars Rover Celebration
Elementary / Math / Ratios and Proportions
The deadline to enter the 2015 Mars Rover Celebration is November 15, 2014. Open to students in grades three through eight, the contest calls for future scientists and engineers to create operational models that can carry out a specific scientific mission on the surface of Mars. Part of the challenge is that they must restrict themselves to found objects and minimal art supplies costing no more than $25. The event is in its 13th year and is open to the public. It is scheduled to take place 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., January 31, 2015, in the Houston Room of the University Center on the University of Houston campus. An entry form is available at https://marsrover.uh.edu/eventregistration.aspx or by contacting Edgar Bering at [email protected] or 713-743-3543.
