As we work to design our starship, we will find that many of the lessons we learn can be directly applied on Earth.” "(The goal is) to get students to really see some of the harm that our society is doing so that they can’t really ignore it and live the same way they have been."- Professor Daniel Heath In the first few weeks

I also think it is important that the students have an opportunity to share what they have learned with each other. This special project has taken a lot of different forms through the years (such as scientific posters or class blogs), but most recently I have started asking the students to make a movie
