Archaeodisaster project

Tessa Maria


1) What was your project …. Provide a 2-3 sentence description of what it was supposed to be and its intended impact on your audience, however that was defined.

My project was on Archaeoastronomy. Originally I had intended on it being a jigsaw puzzle but have since changed it to a crossword puzzle. The idea behind the puzzle is still the same as before just on a different format.


2) Reflect on the project …. What new content ideas did you learn? HOw did you understanding of astronomy expand as a result of this work?

Before starting this project, I knew the key constellations in the sky and a few stories behind them. After working on this project for so long, I have learned a lot more about stars and even have branched off and done my own research on astrology.



Picture of original puzzle has been lost.

3) What did you learn about project management? What went well for you in this process? What were your struggles?

Starting my project was pretty easy. However, I missed about 2-3 weeks worth of classes towards the homestretch resulting in me misplacing my work and having to come up with a new idea fast.


4) If we were NOW in mid-project and NOT facing the end of school, what would be the next steps you would take with your project? How could you more closely attain your learning targets?

I would continue with my jigsaw puzzle idea and implement the ideas I had about wiring them up so they light up the constellations. I think that completion of my project would result in my learning targets being reached.
