Survive & Thrive: Build a Mars Habitat NASA TEAM II: Front End Report

April 1, 2021 | Exhibitions

The Front-End Evaluation for the Mars Habitat exhibit component was conducted to inform the project team about overall public reactions to the concept of the exhibit, as well as to gather feedback about content, activity and the potential structure and building aspects of the component. This data was also used to help guide the development of an exhibit prototype and the subsequent testing of related ideas, materials and builds. This document includes the full data set and results of the front-end data collection.

The questions that were used for this evaluation included three main focus areas designed to elicit participant responses about general disposition about Mars and the potential Ideas for exhibit activities. Specifically, the question topics nclude what participants think about people living on Mars, as well as any questions, concerns or musings they may have about this hypothetical scenario. This evaluation also included an opportunity to ask participants about problem solving around pre-defined exhibit activity ideas.
