Mars Colonisation

Sci-fi Challenge Mars Colonisation

Similar projects worth following
H and his dad have been avidly watching every Starship launch and are excited about a return to the moon and then people stepping foot on, and colonising Mars. We have tried to recreate a Mars colonisation, using some of the tools and techniques we have been practising.

This Mars colony features sustainable wind and solar power, a mine, and a hyper loop train station. You can watch the finished version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgyFNe5zbWI

The description here, has been written by an adult. The construction was mostly completed by an 8 year old, H, with some assistance and direction by dad. The components and build instructions have been written entirely by an 8 year old, with only minor spelling edits by an adult.

Please be kind and encouraging with any comments. Thanks so much for looking at our project.
