The goals of Marsville are to:

  • teach math, science, technology, engineering and communications concepts
  • demonstrate problem-solving using a cooperative model
  • expose students to the complex scientific, technological, socio-political, environmental, and cultural issues surrounding space exploration
  • arouse students' interest in pursuing careers in the sciences, communications and technology
