The Imagine Mars Project Participation Guide contains all the tools and information needed to launch you on your mission to Mars. In the guide, you will find:

Five Simple Steps: An outline of the five simple steps that your project should take, regardless of how your project is configured-as a single class project or one that involves several classrooms, as a grade level or school-wide project, as teams working on one aspect of the community or interdisciplinary groups working across subjects to tackle how an entire community will look. The five steps:

1. Reflect
2. Imagine
3. Discover
4. Create
5. Share

We encourage you to use your project to create partnerships with others in your community or other communities on-line, and engage your community by sharing your ideas with civic leaders and media.

Participation Examples - Some ideas about how different organizations might treat the project, depending on the amount of time and resources available. For further inspiration view completed Project Examples from participants of the Mars Millennium Project.

Registration Information - Two simple-to-use forms are included that will allow your Mission Team to plan together to gather the information necessary to upload completed projects to the Project Gallery.

Activities and Resources - The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have each provided a set of distinct Activities and Resources that can be used to explore a number of community-related questions. Alignment to Education Standards by grade-level follows each activity.
