Hello my name is Phoebe Joachim, welcome to my i2 page. I am currently a senior at SHC. While most of my time is spent on school, a constant accompaniment to my days is music. I enjoy divulging into new genres and finding different songs that spark my interest. For extracurriculars, I am one of the leaders of Book Society and the Student Launch Initiative as well as a member of the Speech team. In previous years I have competed in the Original Oratory category in the GGSA IE tournaments and last year I won second place in the Oratorical Interpretation category.

Last year my i2 project was centered on web-shooters, created in the Spider-Man comics. Although the project may appear juvenile, and admittedly a bit self-indulgent, it required me to learn more about various chemicals and their functions as well as beginning to explore the more technical side of building. Artificial spider silk is also in the beginning stages of development and has shown great promise in both the medical and industrial fields. Since I do not have the resources to engineer artificial spider silk myself, these web-shooters should hopefully be one step or window into a possible future.

3/13 Project Update

Today I began organizing the Informed Shopping website. I’ve been using Webflow and it is proving a bit more challenging than I anticipated. I have had to make some design changes, so the site isn’t looking as clean and organized as I had hoped. I hope I can find a solution soon or make more […] Read more

Spider-Man Web Shooters

This year my i2 project is centered on web-shooters, created in the Spider-Man comics. I embarked on this project was not only to bend the borders between fiction and reality, but to present STEM topics in a manner that encourages young students to learn more about the sciences.
