Earth, the extreme conditions in which life exists, Mars exploration, the
formation of planetary systems around sun-like stars, and the search for
life in the universe.

The 6-day workshop features a combination of cutting-edge science,
inquiry-based teaching and learning, and leadership skills development to
support teachers and teacher trainers.

Participants receive the entire Voyages Through Time
