Connected closely to both human and robotic exploration, Mars Science through the Arts, Letters, and Humanities is one of three content "threads" for formal education listed in the Mars Exploration Program Public Engagement Plan. This thread is meant to represent the earliest entry point into the pipeline, focused on elementary level, interdisciplinary activities that introduce Mars science and engineering. This thread is also appropriate for pre-service teachers and students without strong STEM backgrounds. Key activities include Imagine Mars, which brings science, arts, and technology standards together as students consider what a future community on Mars would be like. ImagineMars.jpl.nasa.gov
