Campers will encounter topics brand new to Mini U like rocket science, inter-planetary travel, hydroponics, life support systems, satellite imagery, and communications. In addition to the completely new content, Mission to Mars combines elements from other Mini U courses like Astronomy, LEGO Robotics, Flying Machines, Engineering, Rocks and Gems, and Spy Kids Camp. The simulated nature of the camp will include elements of role-playing, and will even be documented by our own Movie Making Camp participants.
