career in space.

What is the surface of other planets like? How do we find out and turn that information into a three dimensional

model? Can we accurately recreate other places in the solar system with a 3D printer in a way that anyone can

see and touch and gain an understanding of places beyond Earth? Campers will investigate these questions and

delve into the processes of making science accessible to all. The PARI edition will feature a field trip to a unique

mountain location to experience the beauty of the Land of Waterfalls.
