The artifact I am using is my March Madness Econ Connect project. The objective was to pick an event or thing in the world that related and connected to 4 different economic terms. The part of this project that felt the most successful for me was being able to easily find economic terms that relate to March Madness in an understandable way. The most difficult part of creating this was thinking of enough connections within the terms I found to put on the slides. This artifact connects to the 6 Cs in the Profile of a Graduate. It connects to Creativity because I had to think of a variety of ways to connect March Madness to these terms and I had to be creative to do it. This project connects to the real world because March Madness is actually starting very soon, so this is very relevant. It relates to the current situation with sports games such as March Madness being canceled last year and being held in a much different fashion this year than previous years. Overall, I am proud of the project and I think I did a good job of connecting the economic terms I learned this year to something I enjoy watching every year in March Madness.
