We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw

Looking to the sky

My digital history class has been working to develop an interactive exhibit for display at UWO in April. We've decided on the "sky" as the overall theme for the project and there will be four displays that correspond to the sky in some way or another. Our goal is to show how history/a topic can be combined with facets of the digital world to create an interesting and interactive display.

My group is looking at Archeo-astronomy and more specifically, Stonehenge. We are hoping to create both a digital and actual model that will show viewers how the sun reacts to the ancient creation.

Other topics include comets, constellations, and flying machines and satellites.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it come together as an overall exhibit. Stay tuned to the website and my blog for more information!
