After immersing myself in two different but related projects for my first two years of i2, I want to build on what I’ve learned and incorporate quantitative data. Redefining Organic taught me so much about the agriculture industry, and how “organic” labels really don’t mean much when it comes down to the transparency of the final […]

As I applied to SHC, I was simply just trying to get in. I was not aware that a program such as i2 even existed, so it is fair to say that I was fairly surprised when I got accepted into the i2 program. As I did a little more research, I realized that the […]

My mom watches tv shows displaying the construction of tiny homes, where the builders have to be creative with the small space they have in the house. They always create very minimalistic expandable, retractable, and even multipurpose furniture. I happened to pass by my mom watching them create an expandable and retractable table, with stools […]

So far, i2 has been a new experience for me, and I’ve enjoyed it. I have a lot of new friends in my i2 classes that I’ve gotten to know well. As for the program itself, I would say I’m impressed. The projects are really creative and it’s hard to believe that high schoolers put […]

Throughout the past two years of being in I2, I have learned how to focus on a specific audience in order to solve a problem. I have defined my audience’s need and the way in which my product will satisfy that need. For this year’s project, I will exercise all my previous knowledge that I2 […]

This is my third year as an i2 scholar, and I am excited about the new opportunities this year will bring for me. I am still enthusiastic about conducting a project that would help benefit the well-being of others and would like to continue doing so. However, I have decided to not continue with my […]

Currently, I’m considering on working with Angelika to recreate the SHC campus in Minecraft! We plan on doing a very large recreation of the La Salle and De Paul buildings (and maybe even some other areas around them, like the practice field and the corner store) with very vivid detail. We felt that it would […]

This year, I’m going to take a turn with my projects to a new focus: investing. This year, I’ll once again be working with Hayden to create either an app or website that teaches teenagers how to invest. We are both really interested in this idea because we think that it is very important for […]

For my junior year at SHC, I plan on continuing to work in the same group as last year with a different project idea. Last year we ran into some obstacles that we were not able to get around so we are deciding we want to move on to something new.  Although at this point […]
