Food For Thought” class I created a art piece called “The Transformation” that is supposed to represent the food system and environment  in the past, present, and future. I did this by creating 4 panels in the drawing which is our four different units in our class, Life, Death, Decay, Birth. Below in my narrative, you can Read More…

For my Design and Engineering class, I did projects that help me become a global citizen by teaching me ways I can reduce my carbon footprint. At the same time, it allowed me to understand the full process and detailed designs used to become more sustainable. The purpose of this project was to use Google Read More…

For my Math and Science course (Design and Engineering), I created a sketch up 3D model of a wind turbine that is sustainable. My turbine can be seen below with three propellers  This was the last action project for the trimester. The course was designed around the equation that Work= Force x Distance. Following through the Read More…

For my Design and Engineering class, we made wind turbines. I used skills applied in my class to build the design. This made me more of a global citizen because it gave me the ability to help the planet in a very cost efficient way.   Citation Bishai, Alexander. “Wind Turbine” Interview. October 19, 2012.

In our Design and Engineering class, we researched and experimented with wind turbines, and the benefits they serve in the real world. A wind turbine is an energy efficient source of energy that uses the movement of wind to fuel electricity or energy. In an in- school field experience, we had the privilege to meet the CEO of Windonics. Read More…

  In my Design and Engineering class, we worked on building solar panels. The purpose of this was to use  the sun to heat water. We studied the positives and negatives of using solar energy. After researching, we began planning how we were going to make this happen. Sketching and predicting possible problems and solutions Read More…

In my Design + Engineering class, we created a water station. Our water station is built with scrap tools. This station helps those lacking water and hygienic  materials. The purpose of this project is to help those in need. I’m proud to say that ours worked exactly the way we needed it to. We needed Read More…

For our second Forbidden Books Milestone, we were asked to create a memorial of sorts to go in the site of the Twin Towers that would help to facilitate peace, especially between Christians and Muslims. When I first got this assignment, I was so overwhelmed. I drew for an hour trying to figure out what Read More…
