What is a Mars Clock? It is a hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) project to get kids excited about space mathematics. Bob Barboza is the founder/director of the Barboza Space Center in Long Beach, California. He trains Jr. astronauts, engineers and scientists for the “Occupy Mars Learning Adventures International Fellowship Programs.” His passion is space mathematics.
We invite you to share some of your creative ideas in creating Mars clocks. We have provided some samples to inspire you below. If you do the math we will help by creating the clocks or you are welcome to create your own Mars clock from start to finish. We just want to get our students around the world excited about math. If and when we go to Mars, we will use one of these clocks to tell time, to remind us of planet Earth.
Will you help us?
