Genesis Kids
Do you know a child who loves space science and wants to get involved in Genesis mission activities? Introduce them to Genesis Kids — http://www.genesismission.org/product/genesis_kids/ — the newest addition to the Genesis Web site. They will find lots of activities, including an interactive game called “Suiting Up” that lets them simulate putting on a clean room bunny suit. Genesis Kids was developed for children ages 11 and under, but big kids are welcome too! Stay tuned for more Genesis Kids fun to come.

Genesis Grams
“I wish I could go to Mars someday and I wish Genesis good luck! I think Genesis is very exciting,” wrote a brother and sister from Wheatridge, Colorado. This submission and the remaining Genesis Grams have been engraved on the Genesis microchip and are awaiting launch aboard the spacecraft in mid-2001. A number of classroom projects as well as individual entries were submitted and are the first entries to be posted on the Genesis site. You can view Genesis Grams for ages 10-and-under at: http://www.genesismission.org/product/genesis_kids/genesisgrams_files/grams10under.html Watch next month for another update.
