What could you possibly do as a new variation on a gingerbread house?

Ask the Aerospace Museum of California.

On Saturday, December 17th, they’ll be hosting a special event, where you can “make and take” your own gingerbread Mars rover!

From 10:00 that morning until 2:00 pm, visitors to the museum are invited to join Amelia Bearhart and friends for a “sweet” educational activity of the best kind: where you’re learning without realizing it!

Guests get to learn about the Mars Perseverance Rover and how NASA scientists are using it to study the fourth planet from the sun.   And there will be a supply of festive sweets and treats from which you can design and build your own gingerbread rover.

A very imaginative way to welcome the season!   And who knows, today’s young gingerbread rover creators just may, in twenty years, be enjoying freeze-dried gingerbread from the lunar outpost.

The Aerospace Museum of California hosts their “Gingerbread Mars Rover” event on Saturday, December 17th from 10 am to 2 pm.   Discounts are available for veterans, students under 18, senior citizens and teachers, with ID.  The museum is located at 3200 Freedom Park Drive, in McClellan, northeast of downtown Sacramento.  Here’s the link for information.
