The AGWSR 8th Grade Computer Science Class hosted the FIRST EVER:
"Moon vs Mars Colonization Recruitment Fair"!
Students were paired off into Specialty Areas to take on roles of being the 1st specialists to be living on either the Moon or Mars. They were then tasked to convince 100 people to move to their colony.
In a weird twist of events, the colony that will be built with the first 100 space colonists will be..... MARS... by ONE vote out of all 5th-8th graders and special guest visitors!!!!!!
Congratulations to the Mars group and to all the 8th graders: I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ALL (Moon and Mars) - you rose up, you dug deep, AND you DID IT!
