destined for Mars! Through videos of the engineers in
their work environment, and a live discussion led by audience
questions, the engineers will share the excitement of Mars exploration
and illustrate that a career in engineering is possible for any
creative young man or woman with interest and ability in science and
math.

Schools, museums and the general public are invited to participate by
submitting e-mail questions about Mars, robotics or engineering to
