This five-day event was like none other in Bruce, Grey, and Huron counties. Teams of five high school students from this region worked with a roster of scientists from the Canadian Space Agency, Bruce Power, and a former NASA researcher on how humans can create a livable habitat on Mars.
During the week-long competition sponsored by Bruce Power, topics focused on survivability and sustainability, resource development and management, and astronaut mental health and well-being.
The winning Team Aquila was made up of: Matthew Andresen, Michael James Inglis, Teagan Penner, Sophie Penner, Sarah Inglis, who each took home $500 from Bruce Power to be used towards post-secondary education.
From a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at team strategizing and collaboration to their winning presentations, let's take a look back at the competition!
