Since my last blog post, my group and I have decided on a project idea and made considerable progress. My junior project is developing insoles that contain piezoelectric crystals that allow the wearer to convert the kinetic energy from walking into electrical energy that can charge a portable battery pack, which can then charge a […]
My project is going really well, although there were quite a few obstacles along the way. My initial idea for this project was to build a grand escape room for people to test out. What I didn’t realize at first was that it was not going to be possible for me to build a life-sized […]
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 […]
Data collection with the finger on the sensor allows the Raspberry Pi to detect heartbeat and blood oxygen level through a computer. The information can be sent to the server but needs to be stored. The first problem I ran into was the complexity of connecting the heart rate sensor to the Raspberry Pi. The […]
At the beginning of this project, we were toying with the idea to make an online shop, but we ran into various obstacles. So, abandoning the idea of making a website from scratch, me and my partner Angel decided to instead make an Etsy shop and Instagram to go with it. We chose this to […]
It’s been awhile since my latest update, and a lot has changed with the project. I have a chamber completely built, at 12in by 18in x 4in. This size of chamber will be large enough to see many trails of particles while being portable enough to bring into a classroom. The peltiers are proving to […]
For this year’s project, me and my classmate Angel are building a shop to sell our crafts and art. Currently we are setting up prices for our products, which will include stuffed crochet animals and stickers. Our next steps are to establish an Etsy shop and Instagram as well as research charities and their donation […]
We have recently switched our project from a compassion project back to the homelessness topic that we did last year. While our goal is the same, which is to better educate members of our SHC community on homelessness and the many misconceptions, we plan to achieve this goal through an interview-type series. We have recently […]
This year, my i2 project is going to be centered around helping ballet schools around the world. Since I am a ballet dancer myself, I see how important ballet is to my well-being and self expression. I see that in many other dancers as well. This is why I have decided to create a new […]
As a new i2 student, I am immensely looking forward to my time in the program! The i2 Program is about innovation and inquiry; thinking about ways to improve one’s home, school, community, and world. The program is an outlet that helps students develop natural curiosity and creativity. It surrounds us with teachers to guide […]
