Bike for 2, please!

-

 For our second AP of Design & Engineering, We were assigned a persona to create our bikes from. My persona, Vanessa, has to bike 4 miles from United Center in Chicago. We had in-person and virtual encounters with Divvy and Earth Riders  to teach us about the parts of bikes and their properties. 

I interviewed my dad who is a biker and when i asked if there was any problems about riding in Chicago and he said there is too many potholes so we used both into one bike called the BIKE FOR 2™

Changin' Washington Park

For our Civic Term class Music that Matters, We were given a task from a nonprofit organization called My Block, My Hood, My City to find an idea that will improve my neighborhood. Since I live near George Washington Park on 51st and King Drive, I feel like having a 30-foot slave owner hovering over the descendants of slaves needs improvement. We were also added music to boost the feeling of support for our block. We talked with many artists about protest and learned that art can create an opinion.  I think that having this in action will not only affect my neighborhood but spark others to do the same. I think the hardest part was the video </div

In my Forbidden books class, we learned about censorship on books and how they were censored. Censorship on books is "a form of censorship that occurs when private individuals, government officials, or organizations remove books from libraries, school reading lists, or bookstore shelves because they object to their content, ideas, or themes." from Middle Tennessee State. People want to censor books because they think it will affect the younger generation to rebel against the traditional ways.   We also learned about Socrates and ancient Greece, their style of learning and Socrates' questioning life. Socrates was a philosopher who rebelled the idea of greek gods.

A Socratic dialogue is a communication that perceives two people where one person answers questions and the other questio

Garden Shear-ye

 In my first Junior STEAM core class, Design and Engineering, we virtually learned about tools and how they came to be. We had the privilege to meet via video meetings with Dyson engineers and designers to learn about the design process and the reinvention of basic items. We also met with Greater Good Studio and talked about empathy and how each product can be available to everyone, despite the disability or the circumstance. For our Action Project, we had to redesign a garden tool for the elderly or the disabled.  We also interviewed my mother, who was a gardener and she said that an acquaintance who had arthritis was unable to use garden shears because of their disease. So my partner and I chose to create a completely new design for garden shears for people with arthritis. To view my partner’s Action Project click here .
