Year 9 Target Mars Trip

On Thursday 11th May, students in Year 9 at Parkside participated in a STEM competition workshop at Brunel University, based on the theme ‘The Race to Mars’. It featured ideas from different companies and countries as to who would get to Mars first, and how. The different technological breakthroughs used thus far were explored and those in the pipelines. The possibilities and theories to be used were explored in different interactive sessions based on what was already known about data on Mars gained by robots.
