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…
