THE STORY:

SCENARIO

2050. Everyone was so busy planning for survival, they forgot the next step.

By the time 1000 people had settled on Mars, they had managed to solve problems like radiation and food, but had exhausted all their old ideas just at a time when they should have been ready to grow - that’s where YOU come in. What is the first thing Mars needs to become a thriving community?

Possible Themes: 'First School on Mars', 'First Kids on Mars', 'First Sport on Mars', 'First Community on Mars', 'First Business on Mars', 'First Agency on Mars', or 'First _ (insert your org) on Mars'.


The 'future-proof skills' framework behind First on Mars:         

Each level of First on Mars matches to these future literacies (Note: You will always find the latest version at FutureWe.org/framework)
