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 […]

This year, I have decided to do a two year project revolving around the social struggles of immigrants to the country. Essentially, this year I will conduct interviews, send out questionnaires, and do research on what immigrants grapple with socially as they try to adapt to an American way of life from their past culture, […]

MIDI Fractals is my 11th Grade i2 Project Proposal is a digital program that randomly generates multi-instrumental pieces based on mathematical algorithms such as fractals. Essentially, it will allow the user to select what instruments they would like to play, then choose which fractal or other mathematical algorithm they would like to use, then generate […]

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 […]

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 […]
