The Innovative Bike

This is an action project for my core class Design and Engineering. This unit, we have learned about many different subjects. For example, gears, gear ratio, bikes, radius, diameter, circumference, speed, energy, etc. During this unit I also interviewed a friend of mine who mikes often. During the interview he said "I enjoy customization." I took what he said and turned it into inspiration to help me give my bike more innovation. This quote made me think of more ways that I can add customization, not just for the gears on a bike. For this Action Project, I have teamed up with a classmate of mine and given a persona to solve problems they have with bikes, theft of bikes, terrain, and many more things. Our persona is a man named Mohammed who lives 5 miles away from his school. He has issues with his bike getting stolen, he lives in a hot and rainy climate, has a very rocky terrain with streams flowing through the streets, and he needs a way to carry goods from the market. My partner and I took these issues/inspiration into consideration and created a bike that fits the needs of our persona.  Below is a 3D model of our bike, the 2D drawing we made, and a picture of the terrain Mohammed has issues with.

To get a better understanding of how big the wheels are and how far Mohammed lives from his school, my partner and I have created a slideshow that has all of the information regarding all of our calculations.


Our persona needed a bike that couldn't get stolen, could ride over rough terrain, and also be able to carry goods from the market. I fell that my partner and I took these issues and put them into an idea that works. Our bike has a retractable chain to lock the bike in place, it has a detachable crate that you can put on the back, and it has four wheels meant to go over rocky and wet terrain. It has a electric engine that powers the bike and it saves fossil fuels like gasoline. Personally I enjoyed the process of this Action Project because it made me think about how bikes can be effective in different scenarios. I had a problem with the calculations but eventually my partner and I found a way to figure the calculations out.

My Final Project...Is about my future.

 This is the very last Action Project I will ever make. I have spent my last three years making a lot of action projects, and I am at the end of them. This last AP is for my core class Endurance. This class was all about learning how one might endure something and the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental, strength it takes to endure something. So in order to finish my last class, I need to create a survival guide on how to become an electrician, my future career. This survival guide will show how I will reach my goals and also give a timeline for how quickly I want to reach them. This is important because I am able to look back on this and show how much I have changed, and it will also help me if I get into a bad spot in my life. Overall, this AP will also show you how I plan to reach my goal and become successful in the future. Overall this class was one to remember. I was able to create a project I am proud of. I also know that this is the last action project of my time as ...

Scientific POSTER!

This is my final action project for my Core class Frontiers, and also my second to last action project ever! This last action project was all about challenging and pushing the frontiers of space and oceanic exploration. For both of these projects, we formed a guiding research question in order to be able to complete and write a research paper regarding problems with space and ocean exploration. For space, I decided to research and analyze the Big Banf and other questions connected to it. I was able to figure out just how much the Big Bang has had an influence on the world and research today. I was also able to figure out how the theories that are given, could be wrong. In order to complete this class, I was tasked with turning one of my research papers into a science fair poster. These posters have bits of information that give context to the research paper but do not give too much information. Below is my research paper created online. I am pretty proud of this poster and overall woul...

What is the Big Bang?

 What was the Big Bang and how can we prove it? These are questions that scientists have been trying to answer for decades. Where did our universe come from? When did it start? Is it still going? Is there any way for us to be able to track the big bang? The big bang was billions of years ago, but how can science prove that it actually happened? If scientists can prove this then how could this affect religious beliefs? These questions have been asked, yet still remain unanswered. When asking questions, getting the answer can bring a whole lot more questions. When it comes to the creation of the universe, there are just as many questions as there are theories as to how the universe was created. Just a few of them have been stated above, and only a couple have been answered below.  But how did it begin? The universe as we know it started in one extremely hot and dense point that inflated and stretched, first at unmeasurable speeds, then slowly over time, it became measurable. 13....
