The idea behind MarsoNian

Space & Astronomy is the next big thing and the future. The Space race has intensified with the advent of very strong private companies in the field. The game is changing. Is our next generation gearing up for this? Introducing Marsonian..!!. A Project with a bootcamp to hone the talent and the interest.

Since 1960, humanity has been exploring Mars, and we’ve never been closer. Permanent settlement, where crews that go to Mars stay and develop a new society, is the next natural step in Mars exploration. Humans settling on Mars will inspire us all to improve the planet. Mars sits about 34 million miles (55 million kilometers) away from Earth, depending on the orbital position of both planets. We Earthlings still face several obstacles before we could even reach it.

The Bootcamp Goal

Learners to investigate, understand, analyze challenges of Mars Colonization and construct the solutions.

The subject of Astronomy connects to a number of allied subjects, namely, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, life sciences. The learners need to understand this interdisciplinary nature of the subject which will open up avenues for them in future in terms of career prospects. The teaching-learning will assume a blend of synchronous and asynchronous mode. Students are required to carry out individual activities, as an integral part of lesson- delivery plan, on virtual platform. The lesson planning has referred to technology-based pedagogical content by Judith Harris, insights from 21st century skills.
