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 by This American Life, we read stories of micro-aggressions, and we played a special type of monopoly where each person was part of a different social class and was subjected to different class rules. For example, I was lower class and I started with only five hundred dollars, while those in the upper class started with 2500 dollars. For this AP, we were tasked with envisioning a policy change in the year 2122. The policy I chose to create was globally appointing gender identity and sexual orientation as a protected class.  Script: [June 28th, 2122] Today marks the 171st anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, NY.  This is a momentous occasion, as it marks the beginning of a global st...

For this term, I decided to do a joint project between Woodshop and my Digital Fabrication workshop. In Woodshop we learned how to use a miter saw, table saw, belt sander, and other various tools. In Digital Fabrication we created 3D objects and learned how to slice them. We then learned how to create an SVG and cut it out using the silhouette cutter. I new thing I learned to do was take an SVG and use it to create a carving on wood using the Carvey. This was a useful skill to learn as I had chosen to make a jewelry box in the woodshop and was struggling to find a way to decorate it.  CH. "Rip Cut." Youtube, 2022. After learning about the Carvey I wanted to carve something on almost every side of my box. This was a bit drastic as I did spend most of Digital Fabrication designing things to put on the remaining sides of the box. Before I was to permanently etch the designs in, I tested it out on a piece of scrap wood. This did not go as planned as I had very fine details and ch...

Welcome to my action project for my Social Entrepreneurship class. During this second unit we learned about businesses and how to create one. We created our own business models, vision and mission statements, marketing plans, and tried to create social change with our business plan. We learned how to essentially create a successful business. We where visited by Sharon Cho and Felicia(GCE's fundraiser) to learn more about what it takes to create and run a social entrepreneurship. For this AP we where tasked with our own social entrepreneurship. Using all of the data and information I collected over the past few weeks, I was able to compile a presentation to present my business idea. In the end I decided to create an LLC and eventually a non-profit that will offer free digital mental health services to LGBTQ+ youth.  CH. "Transform." Google Slides, 2022. Overall, I really enjoyed this project. I got to think about a social change I could create in the world. It was challeng...
