The Marshall University Continuing
Education Department's LEGO Virtual Space Camp was held on star date April
29, 2000 at Cabell Hall in the multi-purpose room. The students simulated
a Mars mission by discussing, planning, and constructing a Mars Colony
three story habitat, green house for food production, water extraction
machine, air recirculation and oxygen production machine, a radiation shield,
a lander for the Mars Rover, and a robotic arm. The students tested
the parameters of the Rover by driving over rocks. They also kept
journals of their space adventures and accomplishments.
