Abstract :
Croquet on Mars is a very ambitious project whose goal is a massive collection of highly interactive material centered on the exploration and eventual colonization of Mars. Although the initial scope is mathematics, science, and engineering at the undergraduate level, the project is expected to expand rapidly to include middle and high school materials and other disciplines. This paper is an invitation to join the project
