Mars 3D Habitat - Field Trip

Space—the thought of it, the race towards it—has inspired innovators, inventors and dreamers for generations. We want to inspire the next generation! 

Caterpillar Inc. and Bradley University cordially invite a select number of students to attend a viewing of the culmination of the 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, a NASA Centennial Challenge. This third and final phase challenges the teams to autonomously 3D-print elements of the habitat, resulting in a one-ninth scale printed habitat. Teams are also competing for their share of a $2 million prize.

IVC will be taking a group of students to see the habitat.

When: Friday, May 3rd

Where:  Caterpillar's Edwards Learning and Demonstration Center in Edwards, IL
