When the Pioneer Spacecraft was being designed for its long voyage to Jupiter and beyond, scientists realized that even after Pioneer ran out of energy it would continue to drift through space forever. There is a chance that someday in the future it wil be found by some form of  intelligent life far out in our galaxy. The scientists designed a message that was incscribed on a metal plaque and attached to the side of Pioneer. It contained information on where the Pioneer came from, who
sent it and what its creators were like  The purpose of this assignment is for you to design a message of your own that you would have attached to Pioneer. Remember though, you are not allowed to use words and letters because whatever form of life finds Pioneer, it will nto understand any of the languages on earth. You have to find other methods of getting the message across.

Put your message on a standard blank sheet of paper.  It will be graded on originality, creativeness, and effort.
