This half-day Mars For Earthlings (MFE) workshop introduced lesson modules applying Earth analog concepts to recent Mars imagery in an effort to engage students in STEM disciplines. This workshop was aimed at any faculty and postdoctoral scientists/graduate students teaching undergraduate introductory earth or planetary science. Participants brought a laptop to work through exercises that utilized Google Mars and JMARS software. Activities covered broad themes of Mars surface processes, astrobiology, and mineralogy. Many of the teaching resources will be accessible online. Upon completion of the course participants received a $25 coupon redeemable at the GSA onsite bookstore.
