New Astroventure
Website

STUDENTS CAN 'SEARCH' FOR A HABITABLE PLANET
Searching for a fictional planet on which people could live is one of
the student activities on NASA's website. 'Astro ferret,' a cartoon
character, will guide students through a series of role-playing steps
on the multi-media, interactive website. Young people using the 'Astro-venture'
website can observe the effects of changes to the Earth and draw conclusions
about what is needed for survival. Participants can 'feel' that they
are part of an Internet world by receiving information seamlessly, through
use of graphics, audio, video and audio transcriptions.
