Shoot for the Stars..... Not So Fast!

During my second unit of my STEAM course, Frontiers, we've explored the skies and beyond. We have been looking into space like a book with endless possibilities, we dove headfirst into the details. We time-traveled to the past to understand how ancient civilizations came to embark on the mysteries of our skies. Many identified celestial beings as gods. These include the moon, sun, stars, and even Earth's weather cycle. Fast forwarding, our class read two fascinating books/articles on astrology and learned some basics of Kepler's Law which was very interesting. I found out a lot and there's still a lot more to be uncovered. Overall, this unit went by quickly. Trying to keep up wasn't easy but I stuck with it. For this action project we were asked to make a conference-style poster board based on a grand challenge of our choosing. Here’s the one I picked below and my board hope you like it.

Grand Challenge
Create self-sustaining and reliable human environments and habitats that enable the permanent colonization of space and other planetary surfaces.
