CONWAY — Sponsored by the Conway Public Library in partnership with the MWV School to Career Summer Camps and Project SUCCEED, STEM Mars Exploration campers do everything from designing their own rockets and creating their own vision of what sustainable life on Mars might look like.
“Conway, we’ve got a problem,” a description of the camp states. “Humanity needs help planning their next mission to Mars, and this is just the camp to do it! Learn how to use a 3-D printer, VEX robots and more to launch a rocket to Mars, collect samples to send home and even establish a Martian colony.”
