Try your hand at designing a Mars Base, or a long term Mars settlement. Our main focus will be design issues for an early Mars base constructed from materials made on site. No special experience is needed; but we will be using cad or sketching; and applying principles of architecture, mechanical engineering, civil engineering,
chemistry, and psychology.
