Planet Mars (presented before the movie, Mars Attacks)

North by Northwest, an Elm Street Program, Fairview Park, Bethlehem, PA
9 July 2009

Going back to 2009, remember the fun we had when the North by Northwest Community Initiative ran the movie, Mars Attacks? North by Northwest is a State-funded Elm Street community and economic development project. Before the movie started, Dr. DeLeo (center), a scientist from Lehigh University, talked to us about the planet mars! He was accompanied by his able assistant, Ms. Lisa O'Brien (left), from Underwired Vintage Clothing.

 

Ms. O'Brien gathered a large group of women and arranged for them to look like the Martian disguised as a human woman in the movie (i.e., weird!). A Lehigh University graduate student brought in a "Martian rover." And, Mr. Pitsilos arranged to have the actual Martian flying saucer prop trucked in and hoisted into the air! Here are some of the photos from that fun day.

 

 
Gary DeLeo and Lisa O'Brien said that they had a wonderful time at the event. What a great program! Thank you Mr. Pitsilos!

 

 
I hope you have enjoyed this web presentation as much as we enjoyed sharing the actual learning experience with your son or daughter. Although we have endeavored to exclude photographs where permission has been denied, it is possible for errors to occur. If you would like us to remove a photograph of your son or daughter for any reason, please send me an e-mail message at lgd0@lehigh.edu or call me at 610-758-3413, and we will remove it promptly. Please note that we will never associate a child's full or last name with a photograph except in circumstances where special permission was explicitly provided. Thank you. Gary DeLeo.
