Update - Fourth Grade

Fourth grade just finished their study of astrobiology. They examined the possibility of life elsewhere in our own solar system as well as on planets in other solar systems. They are closing out their unit with a Makerspace design challenge. Using NASA’s Kepler Transit Space Hunt simulation, they identified an exoplanet and collected information about the exoplanet's environment. The challenge was to design a home for their planet. A requirement was that it must manipulate and blend stylistically with its environment, similar to the techniques of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Here are some photos of the design process in action!
