What is an epidemic and how can we prevent one?

Welcome to my blog. This is a final presentation of the term that shows a certain project I enjoyed doing and wanted to go into more detail about. This term, we have learned about mental disorders and physical disorders in our STEAM class. In our Humanities class, we learned about banning books and the censorship of books. For my final presentation, I had to pick a guiding question from one of our core classes. The guiding question that I picked was from my STEAM class. The question is "How can epidemics be contained?" I took this question and redefined it into a new question, "What is an epidemic and how can we prevent one?"

Below you will find the slideshow based around this question. Each slide explains a different part of epidemics and how they relate to what is going on now (COVID-19).


 

I enjoyed this project because I was able to understand more about what was going on in our lives today, and also I am now able to give details to people about the spread of COVID-19. I made this project at home because my school is shut down temporarily because of this new disease. It has been different since I am not at my school right now making this project. But, that is how we grow and adapt to new changes. Just like how America is going to have to adapt because of this new virus.

Drawing for 12 Hours with Only a Pen

 This is a project for my core class Endurance. For this project, I spent twelve hours doing one thing. This class was all about what is endurance? We started the course by defining endurance and looking at historic people who had to. endure something for a specific amount of time. I spent time trying to figure out what you need in order to endure something for a period of time. In order to endure something, you have to be strong-willed, unbreakable, and willing to face hardship and know that it won't be fun or pleasant. So what is endurance? Endurance is being able to push through a hardship/inconvenience. Being able to endure something is one of the hardest things in the world. Especially when it isn't something you choose to do. Forced endurance is something that many people throughout history had to go through. A specific example we looked at was Ellie Wiesel and how he and his family and his whole culture was tortured and killed over the span of years. Ellie lost all of hi

Cardboard Camera?

 This is an Action Project for my core class Light, Sound, and Time. During this Unit, we learned all about light and how it works. We also learned about how light is a part of the visible spectrum. This is a spectrum that shows the types of waves/rays that are on earth. The visible spectrum is also how we see colors. This has also helped us better understand what light is and how we use it to take pictures. For example, when you take a picture using a camera, light is used to leave a image captured onto a surface. For this project, I was tasked with making a camera from a tissue box. The camera I made is called a Camera Obscura. This camera takes light and through a little hole pastes the image onto a piece of parchment paper inside of the camera. As you can see below, those photos were taken from inside the camera when held up to a light. It also shows what the camera looks like and how it turned how after creating it.

Music Does Matter

 This is an Action Project for my civic term class, Music That Matters. This term we took a deep dive into music and how it can teach, inspire, and ignite people. For this project we had guest speakers from many different places come and teach us about different ways music can be effective. We took these ideas and came up with ways music can benefit our communities. We are proposing these ideas to My Block My Hood My City, which is an organization that helps communities by giving grants and donations to help make peoples ideas reality. We also learned about Ratliff's vocabulary. I went out to the end of my block and took a video of the sounds that come from my neighborhood.  Hello, I am a student from GCE Lab School, and I am applying for the grant to help make my idea of making this installation possible. For this project, I came up with an idea to teach, inspire, and ignite my community through music. I went out to my block/neighborhood and I sat there for about 4 minutes, just l
