Envision a Future

Student Showcase

About the Projects

In Fall 2018, the students of HNRS 1500: Co-Evolution of Life & Earth (a science General Education course) were tasked with producing a final creative project that envisioned a future world and answered the question, "Is intelligence an evolutionary advantage?"

Their projects draw upon concepts covered in the course, including the scientific process & science communication, data analysis, geosphere-hydrosphere-atmosphere-biosphere interactions, geologic time and processes, evolution of organisms and ecosystems, mass extinctions, and more. Their future visions were totally up to them, but needed to be based on a solid foundational understanding of how life & the physical Earth interact, backed up by their own research. We hope you enjoy their final projects!
