Past Collaborations
MG 4.0 meets 4:30-5:30 p.m. every Tuesday online
Driving Idea:
This student project aims to empower, excite, and engage students by launching a mission to grow plants on Mars. Through weekly meetups, students create a dynamic Project Proposal, which includes designing, planning, and collaboration with aerospace subject matter experts and other students. By the end of the term, students will be exposed to the basics of project management, considerations for the spaceflight environment, and basics of habitat design.
Tuesday Virtual Meetups: (4:30 – 5:30 pm MT/Belize Time)
- teams check in – showcase progress
- 30 sec lightning round updates, all teams (roses/thorns for week)
- 2 reps per team provide updates -takeback updates to their teams – teams can rotate who does the updating
Each Week we will have a Spotlight Presentation (10 mins) to speak about a particular area that will help teams think of their ideas to growing food on Mars.
