As we wrap up our projects, you’ll be asked to do two things:

a) make your project as complete as it can be and

b) post reflections to the NuV site by addressing the questions below. You may compose your answers here and cut and past to the site when you’re ready. In addition to the responses, please post photographs, sketches, etc. of any graphical elements that help to highlight your work!!

Here are the four questions we’d like you to respond to ….

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 a model of a zombie star, it was a balloon around a light bulb, that would get pumped up to show the life cycle of the first star. Then the balloon would pop and leave behind the light bulb that would symbolize the zombie star. The project was designed to educate about a largely unknown phenomena.

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?

When thinking of ideas for our project I learned about a theory called Rainbow gravity that talks about the different wavelengths of light being pulled by gravity differently.

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

I didn't understand Rhino and I had to re-do the box like 10 times, so that sucked.

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 finish the box in Rhino and laser cut it, then test it and make any needed adjustments.
