Narrative Description
The students at Antioch Charter Academy
Middle School were given the assignment to design a calendar for the
new colony on Mars. They were given basic facts of rotation rate, tilt
and orbit of Mars vs Earth, then broken up into small groups to design
their calendars. The groups were very creative in coming up with names
of their months, days and holidays. The general consenses of how the
calendar should be set up was: 1 year = 670 sols, 10 months per year,
10 sols in a week, and 24 hours 37 minutes in 1 sol. Here is an example
of one of the calendars that was submitted.
