CREATE - Name Your Habitat​
  • What would you name your habitat as it currently is, or as you would like it to be (real or imagined), or as your space-version?
  • If you’re stuck, mash up your favorite color with the last thing you pulled out of the refrigerator or cupboard! (For, e.g., “Blue Milk.” ...Think Milky Way!!!!)
  • Share (click here) your ideas using as few words as possible, as text, image with the text on top, or an image. Or, tag us in your social media with your pictures and videos #DesignYourHabitat
