The CWWP

This year, I am in a class called Design and Engineering. In this class we have been focusing on garden tools, empathy, sympathy, and apathy. We had to interview a gardener and ask them questions about tools that they use and how they would want for the tool to be improved in any way. We have visited Home Depot, Beyond Design, and we also planted plants outside of the school. For this AP, we had to choose a tool that was helpful to the world, and we had to make a better design so that it can be more useful and helpful for elderly people. When we went to Home Depot, I chose the pressure washer as my tool. I saw that there are different types of pressure washers and they all have different prices. The smaller the pressure washer, it is less money. The bigger the pressure washer is, it is more money. I also noticed that all pressure washers are used to clean different things. The smaller the pressure washer is, it has less power with the water which allows the machine to clean windows and cars. The bigger the pressure washer is, it has more power and can clean things like side walks, bricks, and the sides of houses. When I had to design a different version of the pressure washer, I did have some struggles. I had to think about what people are going through and how I can make this tool more useful but comfortable at at the same time. I created a slide show and in my slide show, you will see my design of a new pressure washer, how it works, where it goes, and why I decided to create it the way I did. I hope you enjoy my AP and learn something new.

In conclusion, this was a fun AP. I enjoyed going on all of the FE's that we went on for this class and I can't wait for our next FE's. This was a partner project, but I ended up doing the entire project by myself. It did take a lot of time but I made sure that it was done and I asked for help when I needed the help. I hope you enjoyed my project and enjoyed my new design.

Opposites Attract!!

In my STEAM class, Urban Planning, we finished our second unit, Power, and we learned a lot about circuits and eco friendly home appliances. For this unit, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry to watch the Tesla coil be set off. That was a really cool experience because I wasn't expecting for the coil to be that loud. We have been studying circuits and how to make them. We learned about the different symbols that are used for circuits when you draw them out. For this AP, we were paired up with another person in our class and that made the process of this project better because there was a lot of work that had to be done for this AP. The format for this AP, was slideshow format. In our slideshow, you will see the circuit that we created, the eco friendly home appliances that each resistor is representing, calculations, and more. We had to talk about how this AP connected with SDG 7 and why we chose it. You will learn about the circuit that we designed and the home applianc

Freedom Of Speech... But Don't Take It Too Far!!

In my Humanities Class, Policy, we finished our last term of this class. I am so happy that I was able to take this class because I now know what I want to be in life because of this class. This class helped me realized that I willIn class, we have been learning a lot about the Supreme Court and the types of power that this court has. For this AP, we had to chose a certain case and talk about how that certain case was involved with this case. I learned so much from this case because the one that I chose actually deals with my life as a teenager in school. I chose slideshow format for this AP because they help me gather more information and I actually understand the work that I am doing. We visited the Veteran's Arts Museum and it was so interesting being able to see actual clothing and letters from important wars gives you a different look on it. Down below is my slideshow, hope you enjoy! In conclusion, I really enjoyed making this AP. Being able to learn about my rights

Activist Paper

In my elective course called Global Peace, we have been focusing on the Gandhi principles and how people use these principles throughout their lives. For the AP, we had to type a 4-6 page paper about an activist that we chose, according to a list of activist that the teacher gave us. I chose Deray Mckesson to be the activist that I wrote my paper on. The process of this paper was very interesting and intense. I felt like I was going to struggle a lot with this paper because I was nervous. Sharon helped me by giving me corrections and helping me with the guide of the paper. Once I recieved all of the corrections from Sharon and applied them to my paper, that helped me a lot and I was able to continue to work on my paper. The rubric that Sharon gave the class was extremely helpful and that helped me with knowing exactly what to put on my paper because I was confused on what to talk about with the paper especially since it is a 4-6 page paper. Overall, the paper turned out fine and I fin
