Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Last year, through a grant, I was able to take my 6th graders on an unbelievable field trip to the Chabot Space and Science Center. While there, we did the Mission to Mars experience, and it was just amazing. We were also able to see all of the exhibits in the museum and view an outstanding IMAX movie (for most students, their first experience in an IMAX theatre!) about the Mysteries of Egypt. I hope that, through your generosity, I will be able to take this year's new 6th graders for the same experience! We are able to use free public transportation to get to the Chabot Space and Science Center, so the only cost will be the fee for the program. During the Mission to Mars Challenger Mission, my students will work on this premise: It is 2076, one hundred years after the landing of Viking I, and a now routine voyage to Mars has brought the latest human crew into Martian orbit. Control of the incoming flight has been transferred from Houston's Mission Control to Mars Control at Chryse Station. The crew arriving from Earth on the Mars Transport Vehicle has been trained to replace the crew of astronauts that has run Mars Control for the past two years, and to continue its scientific explorations of the Red Planet. Students are assigned to one of eight teams: communication, data, navigation, medical, remote, life support, isolation or probe. Students (crew members) must solve real-life problems in math, science, and technology to successfully complete their mission. Most importantly, they MUST work as a team, both in the simulation and in planned activities before and after the mission. Each team is critical, and the success of the mission is dependent upon the work of all teams. The two-hour simulation takes place in a realistic mock-up of a futuristic spacecraft and mission control room. Thank you so much for your consideration. Sixty-five Oakland 6th graders and their hopeful teacher thank you!
