Mission Patch
One of the first things a crew does at the beginning of a mission is design a mission patch. This team-building activity serves as a method of getting to know one another. Each person on the crew is identified and the purpose of the mission is incorporated into the group design.
Mission Description
Click each of the four mission patch buttons to read about the patch and what each element (shape, colors, pictures, text, and names) mean.
After reviewing these existing mission patches, design your own mission patch for this year’s mission that depicts the special properties of your crew. Be sure to think about the following:
