MARSDAILY

Bring Mars Alive

Washington - October 8, 2000
In case you havenďż˝t heard, the Mars Millennium Project is continuing for a second year. Thereďż˝s still time to get your project on the microchip for launch on a future NASA mission. The second year project submission deadline is June 1, 2001.

Participation guides can be downloaded from the Web site www.mars2030.net or can be ordered with the NEA Windows on Mars video from Ed Pubs by calling 1-800-USA-LEARN (1-800-872-5327).

If you live in Hawaii, Utah, Wyoming, Houston or the District of Columbia on Mars, and would like to participate in the Mars Millennium Project, we want to hear from you.

Whether your project is finished, in progress or about to get off the ground, let us know who you are and what youďż˝re doing. We want to showcase your projects at events nationwide.

We are interested in projects completed in the first year, as well as ongoing or completed projects from the current year. Please provide a short overview of your project, including grade level of participants, number of participants and length and scope of the project to Mark Sierak by November 1, 2000 at [email protected].

There are currently more than 500 completed projects in the Virtual Gallery from the first year, and we look forward to seeing more of these inspired creations now that weďż˝re in our second year. Newly completed projects will be posted in the Virtual Gallery soon. Yours should be too.

Upcoming Opportunities
