Student comments:

"First it was on paper and then our ideas were made into something real by other people."

"I liked how all our ideas got put together. It's like a mosaic of ideas."

"It looks better than I thought it would."

"I didn't really get it when we were just doing the tiles. Like that was fun, but I didn't know how the thing would really be when it was done."

"My favorite part is the junk left by humans and the fossils and the lava and the jewels."

One teacher asked, "Where did you get all the cool tiles?" and was especially impressed when told that the students made them.
