Space Apps Challenge 2017

What we did

We had a blast of course. But I also think we came up with a viable habitat. Here's some of the tools we used:

• We used Mine-craft to model the habitat virtually.
• We created a Mars scene using plaster and news paper.
• We designed and 3d printed our habitats to be displayed in our Mars scene.
• We brainstormed all the time. I mean constantly.
• We created our layouts in adobe illustrator.
• And we had a complete blast.

Our Mission

Redesign the HI-SEAS habitat with a future Mars mission in mind. And do it in a way the ensures my students Will never forget the experience.

Our Goals

• Simplify and standardize the layout of the habitat so that it can be constructed by robots.
• Make sure astronauts can customize the habitat to fit their mission and personal needs.
• Make sure the habitat is strong enough to withstand multiple missions over several years.
• Go about our work in a way that engages younger students.
• Use as many hands on activities as possible.
• Have a lot of fun.
