3D Landscape Models for Earth and Mars Outreach Activity

Tim Goudge from The University of Texas at Austin created this archive for a STEM Girl Day outreach activity. The digital materials challenge K-8th grade students to match 3D printed landscape models with 2D images of Earth and Mars. The activity is described in a 2025 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference abstract.

Use Cases

• Replicate a planetary science outreach activity based on the provided digital materials.
• Teach spatial reasoning and comparative planetology based on 3D and 2D landscape representations.
• Develop educational content for STEM events based on the described Earth and Mars terrain models.

Strengths

• Activity is designed by a university researcher for a specific STEM outreach event.
• Archive contains all digital materials needed to replicate the described hands-on activity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
