Students Will:
- Collaborate, cooperate, and create a ‘zine’ that describes one of the phenomena and/or objects associated with LEO (Low Earth Orbit)
- Engage in critical thinking as a 21st century skill
- Apply knowledge to a creative form of art that provides technical information
- Apply knowledge to write technical information in an artistic way
- Gain assistance in preparing a zine to submit to the SpacEdge LEO Art Challenge:
-
Art students made the attached zines. Their science class required them to use zines to portray and explain a subject related to astronomy.
-
Supply List:
