https://powerlab2019.eventbrite.com

Mars City Foundation 501c3  and Mars City Design® , in collaboration with the mentors from University of Houston - Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture (SICSA), NASA Johnson Space Center (Human Science) and Texas A&M, along with our sponsors, present: PowerLab Workshop 2019.

This will be our 4th Annual Summer Workshop and our 6th Mars City general Workshop we include our AR & VR Workshops. We aim to continue our previous experiences to learn about Mars in an authentic way; Through designing and developing selected concepts from the Mars City Design Challenges 2019, our Marschitect group will have some fun space science retreat experiences, building the skill to collaborate with international multi-disciplinary creatives to find the solutions and technology supporting the human mission to Mars. Our previous workshop participants graduated with new skills, some are able to intern for their favorite pioneering space companies!

PowerLab Workshop 2019 subject focus is the Human centered design for Space (Becoming a Multi-planetary Species);

• What is "Marschitecture"
• What it is to become a multi-planetary species: Study about Human Reproduction in lower Gravity.
• Some experiments on the future sustainable lifestyle when away from our home planet,
• The science behind our health and wellness, and the challenges occuring during a long duration travel,
• Our microgut flora in the microgravity 
• Study about the red planet conditions may inspire some breakthroughs to our human body design improvements.
