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 musical instruments and also provides a safe space for kids to learn and challenge themselves. Below I go into more detail and explain the different smaller but important parts that makes up my business.

This unit was one that I will remember for a while. It was challenging, fun, and also interesting to learn about businesses and also create my own. This AP is one that I am proud of and I believe has the potential to be real. If I could change one thing, however, it would be the logo of the business. I am a fan of the logo yet I had to rush through it in order to create the rest of my AP on time. Overall, this AP was a good one to end the term with. It was a little rushed and also maybe a little sloppy but I feel as if I made a good and important business.

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.

What is a Hysterectomy?

Welcome to my blog. This is an Action Project for my core class Cure. In this unit, we have been at home talking about cells, what they are, and what they are made up of. We have also taken the time to look at different types of surgeries. Also, we had two special FE guests join us through Zoom and teach us about themselves and what they know to help us get a clearer understanding. The two guests who joined us were Dr. Neeraj Jain and Kellee Athens. For this assignment, we were tasked with interviewing someone who has had any surgery performed on them. For the interview, I chose to interview someone about the surgery they had done. The surgery that was performed was a Hysterectomy which is the removal of the uterus. I have put together a slideshow below explaining all of the risk factors, side effects, and much more detail on how the surgery is performed. "No dietary restrictions. I was super groggy and just slept a lot. I was in the hospital for 1 or 2 days. It took me a week to ...

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...
