In my 162 class I created a scouting assignment report that will help my class do a fantasy draft to figure out what players to draft and what players to not draft. Creating this report was fun and amusing but also ridiculously difficult. I was trying not to put to much bias in the report because that might affect the pick [...]

For the past trimester I have had the high hope of being able to learn Objective-C, Cocoa Touch, and the Apple SDK as well as using those languages to create an app for GCE; I had no clue what kind of task it would be.  While I wasn’t able to complete my goal, I did [...]

For my third milestone in 162 (economics and history taught through baseball) we compared five players against each other in order to find who was the best player overall, and who was most worth their current salary.  We did this by analyzing the players performance this season in relation to his total career.  I looked closely at stats such [...]

For my Policy (english & history) class we were tasked with doing three hours of service to an  organization of our choice.  This project was inspired by a field experience we did to LPCS (Lincoln Park Community Center).  I had a great time doing my service, and you can read about it below! After going [...]

The purpose of this food review I did as my action project is to determine whether there is a difference in taste between organically and non-organically produced food, and between fresh and processed food. For this action project, I went to the restaurant called Pure Food and Wine in New York City. I spoke to the chef [...]

The purpose of our Food Action Project was to look more deeply into chemical reactions and their impact on the food we bake. We focused specifically on leavening agents, such as baking soda and baking powder. We learned that these leavening agents are what helps our food, in this case cupcakes, to rise in the [...]

In my Food Redux class I wrote a lab report on substituting leavening agents for baking cupcakes. While writing this paper, I learned that it is not so hard to substitue a leavening agent with another ingredient  but some ingredients do affect the taste of how it turns out. In my lab report I have graphs that show different heights of [...]

For my first Action Project in Street Math our goal was to relate math to electricity using a real world application.  It was difficult to find an equation that could be related to the real world application of electricity. I did this project by using Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of angled streets. You can [...]

I’ve noticed pretty quickly that learning Objective-C is an extremely huge task.  Previously I learned HTML, and CSS but Obj C is something totally different.  It really is like learning a new language, and although it is really difficult, I’m definitely making headway!  The endgoal of this project was (hopefully)  making an App for GCE.  Recently I made a [...]

A daunting project was set before me when I was told I had to hand make two instruments and learn a song on them, but I was ready to challenge myself. The purpose of this piece was to discover the impact pitch has on music and songs. I am proud of the fact that I was able [...]
