The Goal of Mission Mars
- Aligning with global issues, this initiative explores space science and extreme climate change on Earth, offering potential solutions.
- Since its inception in 2016, the Mars Mission competition has been held annually in November at the National Museum of Natural Science, utilizing Mars-related topics to convey fundamental scientific knowledge to students and the public.
- The competition provides high school and vocational students with opportunities to participate. In 2020, it was integrated with the Taiwan Science Festival, actively promoting science education and enhancing scientific literacy across the population.
As countries worldwide continue to launch rockets and probes to Mars, future space habitation and Mars colonization fuel human imagination and anticipation. To equip Taiwan's next generation with better scientific and practical skills, this event aims to ignite curiosity in space science among high school and university students. It encourages them to pose scientific questions and apply interdisciplinary knowledge to address challenges that may arise in space exploration or on Mars. The final outcomes are showcased through practical projects, presented at the National Museum of Natural Science to engage the broader public.
