If you're all interested in mars and space exploration, check out the International Space Settlement Design Competition. The ISSDC is a competition that will help you to learn about space, as well as test your creativity and teamwork skills. For more details, Contact the Executive Director of the International League of Students at ILSDirector@aol.com
Also...check under the category 'Educational Outreach'

Martian Concrete does happen to be an excellent building material for mars settlemets 
The results of the competition, and one of the design proposals, will be posted up soon. I will supply the URL as soon as it is up.

I would highly encourage people to join this competition, knowing that this can be a very good experience that will help students in real life, and to make friends from around the world. It is a very fun experience, but one that will help you in the future. P
My email, again, for those or you with questions/comments, or are interested in joining is psibrain@email.com

Just got back from the Finalist Competition at Kennedy Space Center. Difficult, but we were able to get second place...missing first place because of a printer failure that delayed our design proposal from being brought in...costing us a penalty that resulted in us losing out by 1 point. However, it was a fun competiton, and the result wasn't too bad 
People...email me if you'd like to join!

As a manner of fact, i will be posting up news and results about the project as it proceeds. At the moment, we are in the process of recruiting and training people for the next competition, which should begin in October, as well as preparing our team for competition finals at Kennedy Space Center.

If you're interested in colonizing asteroids, planets, or space, I propose a project known as the International Space Settlement Design Competition (SpaceSet or ISSDC) for the purposes of Educational outreach. In SpaceSet, the participants work together to design a space settlement around or on a planet, notably Mars.
The participants are divided into five groups: Structural Design, Infrastructure design, Human factors, Automations, and Business. In each group, different parts of the settlement are designed, and these parts must eventually be put together for the completed colony. This project helps students to develop cooperation, people skills, knowledge of space (and space settlement design), and an interest in science, particularly extraterrestrial science.
