Just like the great explorers of the old world who reached the shores of Aotearoa - New Zealand based on their skill and driven by curiosity, KiwiMars Outreach is a pilot project that will take students, teachers and the public on a journey of discovery, reaching new frontiers and developing cultural awareness, to find out what it takes to be an explorer of another world.
