Watch the introduction videos and then make your own short animation about your "visit to Mars." Work through the coding challenges first, and then experiment on your own. We'll walk around to see everyone's video at the end. Most of all, have fun, and let a grown-up know if you need help!
1. Watch this video about Mars:

4. One you've watched a couple remixes, click on the "Remix" button at the top right to start making your own. Follow the challenge cards first. Once you've completed all 6 challenges, you can experiment until the time is up. If you're proud of your creation, feel free to publish it!
