3D Print Gallery

 This is an action project for one of my workshops, Digital Fabrication. This class was probably my favorite I've ever taken for the fact that I was given the opportunity to create whatever I could imagine. This class was filled with many ways to create anything. For example, I spent time working with a silhouette cutter to create a lightsaber blade that I can stick on my computer. I also spent time creating many 3d prints. I was able to create many things that I always wanted or things that I just thought were cool. I was able to create a few things that I have below in the slideshow. My favorite creation has to be the Mandalorian helmet that I made as a desk toy. It started out rough but I was able to figure out how to make anything with a 3d printer. I became an "expert" on how to use a 3d printer and I can definitely see myself creating many more things in the future. This class was filled with a lot of interesting designs and opportunities for me. I even created an o...

The Start of New Change

     This is an action project for my core class Equality. In this unit, we spent our time looking at the inequalities of race, class, and gender. We took a deep dive into each subject and listened to different stories from people who have experienced inequality.  We listened to a podcast about a racist school, we read stories of "micro"- aggressions, and we played monopoly except each player plays in a different class. For example, I was lower class and I started with only five hundred dollars whereas my opponent had 2500 dollars to start. I was limited and very susceptible to taxes and bankruptcy. I enjoyed the different stories that we listened to because it allowed me to get a new perspective on things that people do. For this AP we were tasked with envisioning a policy change in the year 2122. The policy I chose to change was the equal pay act because it hasn't limited some businesses from paying women less than men SCRIPT : (March 4th, 2122)  The Start of ...

South Side Cadence

 This is an action project for my core class Social Entrepreneurship. In this class, we spent the last few weeks taking a deep dive into businesses. Specifically the smaller details about what makes up a business. We focused on how a business functions and also its mission and vision statement. Overall this unit has been interesting as we spent our time researching and learning the ins and outs of how a business can be successful. We were visited by a few FE guests. We heard from Sharon Cho and Felicia (GCE's fundraiser). Both FE's helped me and my classmates get a better understanding about business. For this AP, we were tasked with coming up with our own Social Entrepreneurship business. We took all of the information and data we collected to create an influential and important business. After taking a look at the possibilities of what my business could be, I landed on a Non-profit organization that is an after school teaching program. This program teaches kids music and musi...
