The Mars Windstorm Challenge
Forces and engineering design for grades 3-8 with literacy, math and tech extension ideas.
(adaptable for your younger space explorers)


Your aerospace engineers' mission is to design a Mars Space Station that can withstand these intense storms.

Explore friction, mass, and wind forces using the engineering design process to prototype and refine.

Use a fan to test your engineering teams' designs and see who can create the most aerodynamic Space Station.

Tons of literacy, math and technology extensions for a fun-filled cross-curricular PBL experience!
