This led to some interesting conversations about which amendments are important and which aren't as important.

A very important thing we learned that ties into this action project is learning how to calculate your longitude and latitude. For this action project, I have been tasked with designing a time telling device. This was a difficult thing to create but in a video linked below, I explain how my device works, who it's made for, and why it is unique along with 5 visuals to show my design.  Below are four visuals: one, shows the volume of my device, one is a hand drawn visual of my device, one is a 3...
