Sundial Clock - Clondial?

This is an action project for my core class Light, Sound, and Time. This unit was all about time and how it affects us and our livelihood. We learned about many different concepts of time like the twin paradox, which is basically the theory that if one twin is sent into space and one twin stays on earth, the one on earth will appear older than the twin in space. This is because time slows down when you reach the speed of light. We also had a guest come and teach us about time and space. 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 3d model of my device, and the last one is a hand drawn visual of the sundial portion of my device.

In conclusion, this project was one of my favorites this term because I was able to learn about concepts I didn't even know existed. For example, time travel is technically possible if you go at the speed of light. I also learned sound is a lot slower than light. Making this project was a little difficult because I had to come up with a time telling device that was new and exciting. I also had trouble making the video but in the end I was able to put it all together.

A Letter To the Government

This is an Action Project for my core class Policy. During this term, we have been looking at policy and how and what it is. We looked at it in the constitution and also in the government today. We took a look at different policies in Chicago and how they would change the world in a good or bad way. We were also visited by a few FE guests who should us a deeper meaning behind policy and how it can help us in the end for this project. We were visited by Arne Duncan, Akio Katano, the CCHR, and Nick Anderson. Keeping in mind the things they taught us about, we were tasked with finding a policy in Chicago (preferably a new one), and then creating a letter addressed to someone who represents me and my city asking them to advocate for this policy. The policy I chose was about the Anjanette Young Ordinance. This led me to research more into this policy and why what the police did was so wrong. Not just because they broke into an innocent civilian's home, but because they did so against t...

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 ...

Should I Have the Right to Renovate my Own Building Without a Permit?

This is an action project or my core class A Nation's Argument. This unit was all about the constitution and its amendments. This led to some interesting conversations about which amendments are important and which aren't as important. For example, the third amendment has been ruled as not important because when would a soldier actually come and sleep in your own house. Another argument was how are these amendments related to the problems in the world today? which problems work against the amendments? In unit 1 we visited 1770 and talked about the thesis that "all men are created equal." In unit 2, we visited 1850 and talked about the antithesis of "all men are created equal." For this action project, I was tasked with finding a rule in the city municipal code that I believe is unjust. I chose the rule of needing a permit to renovate the inside of the building you own. "A building permit is required for now building construction, renovations, the inst...
