Nicole’s Big Idea:
Students will become future astrogeologists on the hunt for a near-earth asteroid where they will establish a mining colony to retrieve valuable metals that are no longer abundant on Earth. They will complete a series of challenges to travel to the asteroid, collect samples, confirm the presence of valuable ore and establish a mining colony on the surface.
