Before carefully selected and trained crews will depart to Mars\, several unmanned missions will be completed\, establishing a habitable settlement waiting for the first astronauts to arrive. Mars One consists of two entities: the not-for-profit Mars One Foundation and Mars One Ventures AG. The Mars One Foundation implements and manages the mission and owns the mission hardware. It also selects and trains the crews and is building an ever-growing community of experts and supporters that follow the progress of the mission and contribute to it. \nMars One Ventures holds the exclusive monetization rights around the Mars One mission.

SUMMARY:ITEC Australia Competition
DESCRIPTION:International Youth Technology and Engineering Challenge (ITEC) Australia is a national competition consisting of primary and secondary-school students only in partaking in a coding/programming competition\, also consisting of creating your own Virtual Reality content. \n  \nA FREE competition to enter: the aim of ITEC Australia Competition is to teach primary and secondary-school students how to code/program and create their own VR content. Of course\, not all students will know how to code\, and this is great\, because this is what we want to teach them.
