Remember Mars Week?

Oxford Observatory —

If you were in Oxford two years ago, of course you do.

Mars is back in the news big time and there are great opportunities for students and teachers to benefit from lots of resources on the Teaching Space with NASA site.

They just had the first of three webinars about the Perseverance Rover that is only weeks away from being launched to Mars. These webinars are being published on YouTube and here is the first one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Ru6hsRZcI. The next two will be next week and in early July resp.

Hosted by a teacher, this webinar doesn’t only tell you a lot about the rover but it is very motivational for students with even the slightest affinity to engineering and space, and also explores the website for education resources and events at https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teaching-space/ .
