For my Design and Engineering Course, I designed a computer that is powered by both a solar panel and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is located on the bottom part of the computer and the solar panel is fixed on the lid, so you can point it to the sun, whether the computer is 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…

This is my power animal kinetic sculpture.  I created this sculpture to show how my power animal, cars, and humans make the same movements in different ways. There are many aspects to the projects like the deign of a natural element for the background, wire used to make linear movements, and beads to show how they 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 the design and engineering course, students had to create a water station for their first unit project. The purpose of this project is for students to develop an awareness of the connections between engineering and the world at large. In this service-learning activity, student teams discovered the basic principles of fluid dynamics. Together, researched Read More…
