Mars Track
The biggest engineering project in human history is starting.
By 2050, the largest infrastructure build ever attempted will be underway. Atlas's Mars Track puts kids into one of the engineering specializations that will define it. They pick at 12. They ship by 18.
The Mars Frame
Building Mars is a business. We're training the founders.
Mars colonies will fail without the things Atlas kids will build. Life-support that doesn't break. Energy grids that survive dust storms. Greenhouses that feed thousands. Manufacturing that doesn't need a delivery from Earth. Humanoids that do the dangerous work. None of that gets built without companies that get paid to build it. We're training the kids who'll start those companies.
Senior Capstone
The Ship
Design, build, and ship a real product to real customers, generating real revenue. Must clear a defensible business and technical bar.
Senior Capstone
The Bid
Apply to a Mars-relevant research program, internship, or fellowship: SpaceX, Anduril, Relativity, Stoke, Helion, Commonwealth Fusion. Earn your seat.
Pick your specialization at 12.
Propulsion
Engines, thrusters, fuel systems. How you get there matters.
Life support
Air, water, food, waste. Closing loops in a closed habitat.
Energy
Generation, storage, distribution. Powering a colony off-grid from Earth.
Manufacturing
Building things on Mars without shipping them from Earth.
Robotics
Doing the dangerous work humans shouldn't or can't.
Comms & networking
Bridging eight-minute latencies. Building a Martian internet.
Biotech
Growing food, healing bodies, adapting humans to a new environment.
Software systems
The control plane that runs every other system on the list.
