Siena Liba's grade 10 passion project

What Is a Passion Project?
A passion project is a year long project by a grade ten student at Balmoral Hall where you choose a topic that interests you. To complete this project you must research and create some kind of interactive aspect as well. This project is student led meaning you create your own criteria. The idea of this project is to help you explore future interests and lead to a potential career path while building on ideas giving you experience. To showcases this you will create a poster and website.
Why Did I Choose This Topic?
My essential question was: How has ancient space exploration and its evolution with technology helped us learn more about space discovery? So, I focused on satellites and telescopes, making a timeline showing the differences from when they were first discovered and created until now. I chose this as my topic because I love space, learning about it, reading, watching videos, and this is a career I want to pursue. I knew I wanted my project to be on space from the start, but finding a specific topic within that was a challenge. Originally, I was going to focus on Mars but from learning about space in the past I know myself and knew that I wouldn’t be enjoying this process or learning if I took that route.
