Students' Designs for 13 Stars

The first official United States flag had 13 white stars in a blue field, and 13 red and white stripes. But there was no rule about how the 13 stars should be arranged. Some flags had the stars in rows. Some flags had them in a big circle.

It wasn't until 1912 that there was an official statement of the arrangement of the stars in the flag.

As part of our CyberFair project, students came up with their own designs for 13 stars:
