Echo not my location, but my design!

Welcome to my 3rd action project for Biomimicry. Biomimicry is an elective course which focuses on STEAM. There are 3 units in this class: Like A Plant, Like an Animal, and Like A Fungus. We just wrapped up Like A Fungus which was our last unit. In this unit, we learned about how things decompose, the difference between a food chain and a food web, organic vs inorganic matter, and many more. For this unit there were two Field Experiences that my class went on, to The Plant and Sharayu from Healthy Soil Compost came in and talked to us about vermicomposting. for this action project our goal is to re-make a product that is sustainable and that is a closed loop system. below is my design.
 
I had a great time re-creating something sustainable that has now become apart of a lot of people's daily lives. This was a cool project because I got to think about where things go after they are out of use. It was hard to find information on the Echo Dot so it made it a lot harder for me to recreate something awesome. It was very eye opening for me and I hope I can create something in the future that has a purpose once its no longer used for a purpose it was originally made for.

SDG2: Zero Hunger - Final Presentations

Welcome to the 2020 fall term final presentations. We were tasked to create a video covering one of the United Nations Sustainable Goals (SDGs) and create some possible solutions. In my group, we chose to cover SDG 2: Zero Hunger. Below is our video where we explain the SDG and the solutions we came up with.  Final Presentaions_ Fall 20 from T N on Vimeo . Acknowledgments:   TN is an aspiring actress and has a lot of background in film. She naturally led our group and pieced the video together and wrote a majority of the script. I helped with the research, but the video would not have been possible without her hard work! AG was also in my group and she helped come up with solutions to SDG2. She was always available and ready to work!  Works Cited:  Sophiabasa “ extreme poverty and hunger ” 2015 Nayan Hello World “ sustainable development goals ” 2019

GR's Survival Guide to Becoming a Lawyer

Welcome to my final humanities action project! This year, I have learned to endure difficult situations, which is why I am so thrilled to graduate. In this unit of Endurance , we about the different types of endurance. The two kinds of endurance we learned about are endurance by force and endurance by choice. An example of endurance by force would be holocaust survivors. They are an example of endurance by force because they had to endure all the pain and suffering they went through. An example of endurance by choice is Laura Dekker who chose to become the youngest person to sail world the world alone. I have decided that I wanted to go into the legal field ever since sophomore year. For this action project, we were assigned to create a survival manual. My survival manual is focused on my path to becoming a lawyer. I hope you enjoy my project!

Hello, welcome to the second and final action project for my STEAM course Economy: Risking Value. In this unit, we read Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist by Kate Raworth. The book is about how traditional economics is broken and how its outdated theories allow for the super-wealthy to continue to become super-wealthy while they are people living in poverty. It also covers the dangerous policies that threaten our future. We were split into seven different groups (one group per chapter). My group was assigned to read chapter 7 which is Be Agnostic About Growth. The other chapters were: 1. Change the goal, 2. See the big picture, 3. Nurture Human Nature, 4. Get Savvy with Systems, 5. Design to distribute, and 6. Create to Regenerate. Our task for this action project was to create our own economic perspective as the 8th chapter Following the guiding question, How do you view the economic world, keep scrolling to view my project.
