Members of Mars Space Pioneers 4-H STEAM club gave Pennsylvania State Farm Show attendees a preview of both living on the Red Planet and the upcoming borough of Mars‘ Martian New Year’s celebration.

Mary Elizabeth Snow, the 4-H leader, said eight club members presented their answer to the NASA’s Mars Challenge over two days on the Lancaster Stage in the farm show’s main exhibition hall.

“The Mars Challenge asks what happens when NASA sends 100 people to live on Mars,” Snow said. Club members gave their answers in a one-hour presentation that included different facets of an existence on Mars.
