Teach students how NASA will use local resources for construction on the Moon or Mars. Students work as materials and structural engineers to create building materials from available resources. Students then design and build a structure using the building materials they made, or they may print the building materials using a 3D printer. Guides are available for elementary (K-5) and secondary (6-12) settings. Student guides for each level are also available.
