Week Four: Introduction to Planet Building

This week our guest lecturer will be Jeff Rodgers Provost of the South Florida Museum and Director of the Bishop Planetarium.  Jeff will be presenting a brief introduction to basic Astrophysics and will be available for questions. He will also be able to present the parameters for our planet visualization excercise. I will post the details for this coming assignment on the blog by next weeks's class. 

Writing Assignment before coming to class on Sept. 26: Please write your own take on the game design concept presented by table top game designer Ken Hite during our last class session.  You are invited to mix any historical event (large or small) with a "nerd trope," i.e. zombies, vampires, aliens, monsters, etc.  Post a synopsis of this alternate history on your course blog.
