Museum and science center visitors imagine and draw an extreme environment beyond Earth, and then invent a living thing that could thrive in it. They learn that NASA scientists study extremophiles on Earth to imagine the variety of life that might exist elsewhere and make predictions about where to look for it.
Materials are also available in Spanish.
