The Check Bike

In Design and Engineering, we have been working on our last AP for this term. For this project, we had to get a character that Adam assigned us and we had to design a new bike. We had three different people come in who work with bike companies and they talked to us about the type of bike they have, problems they have with it and reasons why they like the bikes. This was a partner project and my partner and I worked great together. We both did work and we made sure that everything was needed and all of the right information was on the right slides. Each group of partners got a person, and we had to design a certain bike for our character. We had to take a bike and add more things to it so that it could fit our person perfectly. When we were creating our bike, I decided that we should 3D print our model so that it could look better than a bike made out of straws and wooden popsicle sticks. Adam helped us with the 3D printer and I was able to finish the project. We created a slide show and it shows all of our work and data that we got together from our persona and the bike we designed.

Persona

Adam , Persona (2018)
This is Christine. Christine is a 13 year old girl that has a 3 mile bike ride to school. Her way to school includes hills as it dips under streets so that she can skip all of the traffic. Christine wanted a bike that was comfortable to sit on, a bike that she can take any where no matter the weather is, and she wants to be able to see what is going on behind her while riding her bike. She also has to store her bike 5 steps below ground, so she wanted a bike that isn't heavy at all. So my partner and I decided to create the Check Bike for Christine.

In conclusion, I enjoyed Design and Engineering with Adam. This was a very interesting class and I learned so much during this first term with his class. I would like to thank him for answering all of the questions that I always asked and I hope that I continue to succeed in his class as the year goes by.

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...
