Challenge Introduction

Participants will work in competing teams to test their skills in various topics addressed by the School.
In groups of three, students will play the role of pioneers to Mars in a serious game.
A Mars settlement would be a much higher resource-constrained and dangerous environment than
anywhere on Earth. On Mars, everything must either be created (consumables, spare parts and goods)
or imported from Earth, which would take almost a year. Embark on a unique opportunity to design a
production system on Mars, supplying the first settlers with what they need to survive. You will learn
how to design a system based on key technologies of Industry 4.0 in an exciting new context.
