Scientific paper

The Montana Mars Pathfinder Outreach Project (MPOP) has completed a successful year of interactive presentations with K-12 students across the west. Carefully selected Montana State University undergraduates visited over 4000 students in the year preceding the Pathfinder landing on Mars. Each presentation showcased a computer generated video of the Pathfinder launch and mission and a slide set about Mars along with engaging discussion between the students and the presenters. Teachers received a packet containing a mission fact sheet, a Pathfinder poster, pins, stickers and informational handouts. This high impact, low budget ($10,000) project proved very popular with students, teachers, principals and parents. In this talk we will discuss the organizational network, budget and time commitment needed to bring a project such as this to your area. Materials and monetary support for this project were provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory(JPL Contract #960543) and the Montana Space Grant Consortium.
