Head in the stars and feet planted on M.A.R.S.!
Flying to Mars seems like a natural objective after flying to the Moon. That makes it the object of dreams for scientists of many horizons. Why hasn’t mankind set foot on Mars yet? Some will say it is because the technology isn’t quite there yet, some will say the budgets given to space agencies such as NASA around the world are insufficient to accomplish that, while others will say that we would need more collaboration between states so that it would happen. At the moment, there exists no spacecraft capable of transporting a manned capsule to Mars and to brin git back. For example, the shuttles used by the NASA cannot operate beyond Earth’s orbit, at a few hundreds of kilometres of altitude. However, Mars is hundreds of millions of kilometres away…
You can’t wait for the day when we’ll set foot on Mars? On GAME FOR SCIENCE, we have you covered. First of all, step on Aeronia Island, where you’ll be able to learn more about space and aeronautics. Better yet, play M.A.R.S. Mars Academy of Research and Science, a game where you’ll learn about an array of careers related to space exploration. You will find the game on Aeronia, in the arcade and at http://www.gameforscience.ca/mars/. Bon voyage!
The results are in…
Congratulations, Cynthia Coutu! You won an iPod Touch 16gb for your time spent solving the mystery on Genomia island.

GAME FOR SCIENCE’s newest renovations!
During vacation time, we enjoy all kinds of activities. Some of you might go camping, spend some time at a summer camp, on trips faraway or just enjoying some quality time at home. We’re sure you know someone who spends their whole vacation on some home improvement project. If you don’t, you do now, as the GAME FOR SCIENCE team is busy at work and just finished adding 2 new floors to the arcade. We needed the space as dozens of new games will be added during the summer. Check it out and let us know what you think!
WIN AN iPod touch on Genomia island… still a month to go!
By popular request, the chance to win a 16gb iPod touch is extended until august 14th. Good luck!
Introducing : Genomia Island
Enter to win an iPod Touch!
There’s a shiny new GAME FOR SCIENCE expansion for you to try! Genomia Island is now online. You’ll be able to discover the world of genomics through a brand new quest. Will you succeed in finding a cure to the terrible disease afflicting Genomia’s gnome citizens? Embark on a trip to Genomia from the port on the main island and find out!
Speaking of ports… If you’re anywhere close to the Old Port of Montreal in the coming days, you could meet the team behind GAME FOR SCIENCE. We will tend to a booth for Eureka Festival from June 12 to 14 on the Quays of the Old Port.
Not only will you be able to learn everything about Genomia, but try out the quest at Eureka Festival or complete it online and we’ll enter you in a draw to win an iPod Touch! Inviting your friends yields you more chances to win so pass it along!
