Feedback on recent assignments

• Technology Group Notes. Did you score less than 10? Look at original directions. What components should I have seen?
• Impact of Technology: Individual Notes
• 6 points per topic: 5 components + 1 for depth of thinking (see example)
• "Google" is not a source
• LucidChart Diagrams need to be shared as PDFs (this one is my fault!)
• Tech Family Trees: check your connecting arrows

Group Work: As a group, begin to formalize your project idea.

• Your goal is to decide on an up-and-coming technology that you think will be very important and should be developed.
• Your idea should tie in somehow to space exploration, but it does not have to be something that would primarily be used in space. For example, new ways to grow food would be used here on Earth first, but could also help us to live in space.
• Make sure you take notes on what you decide as a group.
• You can use the following articles, your own thinking, and your own research to come up with ideas for your final project presentation. Note: you do not have to read the articles word-for-word! Skimming them is okay!
