What if I did Not Have Access to Food?

The final weeks of the first term were very brief. What seemed like so much to do in little time. This unit of Sustainable Development Goals was focusing on sustainable development. Sustainable development is very important when it comes to building cities, providing for people, and supporting energy for everyone. The definition I made for sustainable development is, the growth of communities and societies where our natural resources are not destroyed. One assignment during this unit was to interview three people about sustainable development and why they thought it was possible or why not. From the interviews I conducted I found that sustainable development is possible but not soon. For this to happen people need to work together and look out for each other. Everyone must be on the same page because only a few people trying to create this cannot succeed without the support of the entire community. After this work we began to combine what we learned and create our final project. This action project was slightly different from the ones we have done before. Since we only had limited time an essay would not really be logical because it would take more time. Instead, we were asked to create an art piece of our choice focusing on one SDG. The SDG I decided on was Zero Hunger and I chose to create a very small graphic novel.

This graphic novel focuses on how people around the world are trying to create a world where no person is hungry. Everyone has their nutritional needs met and they can feel at least somewhat satisfied and know that they will have a meal the next day and from then on. I also talk about the conflict in Yemen that is being addressed by the World Food Program based in London. They are helping displaced people have food and are provided aid. They have worked with other countries that are hosting these displaced people so that the hosts do not have to work extra or earn more food to help the refugees. The graphic novel I have made is below.



GS, My Graphic Novel, 18 Nov. 2019
I enjoyed working on the Sustainable Development Goals and I think that my work displays that. I really liked this project because I had the chance to do something different and unique. I think my short graphic novel turned out fine but I could have made adjustments. I hope that this will encourage people to help others that need food or assistance. As said on the last page, the World Food Program accepts donations and would really appreciate your support. If you have made it this far thank you for reading and always remember that you can help make change.

Diddley Bows: One-stringed guitars

Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the second Action Project of the STEAM class: Light, Sound, and Time. This unit, sound, was all about how sound is made and what happens for humans or animals to perceive it. Sound travels as a longitudinal wave and is explained as vibrations coming from a source that we perceive to be sound. To start, we examined how the human ear worked and our range of audible frequencies compared to infrasound and ultrasound which humans can’t hear. We then looked at the speed of sound and how it changes based on the medium it travels through. Following the understanding of how sound travels, we investigated traveling faster than the speed of sound or breaking the sound barrier and also the Doppler Effect. Lastly, we looked at stringed instruments like guitars and found how they make sounds. We also had one Field Experience at Guitar Center to look at the guitars and other instruments there. For this Action Project, the task is to create a diddley bow which...

Building GCE's New Laser Cutter

Welcome back to my blog. This post is for my elective class Digital Fabrication. In this class, we have been looking at all things digital. More specifically 3D printers, silhouette cutters, CNC routers, and laser cutters. 3D printers are machines that can create three-dimensional objects from CAD models by layering filament to create shapes. Silhouette cutters are small electronic cutting machines that can take a file on a computer and cut it out on vinyl, acrylic, paper, and more. I have used the cutter to create stickers on vinyl. The CNC router we used in this class was a machine called the Carvey. The Carvey uses a drill bit mounted on an operating system like a 3D printer to drill into wood, foam, and other materials to create designs or molds. For each of these machines, we learned how to use their programs and later work with the machines to create things we made on the programs.  Last but definitely not least, laser cutters. A laser cutter is a machine similar to the Carve...

Redesigning Chicago, One Neighborhood At A Time

Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the third Action Project of the STEAM class Urban Planning. In this third and final unit, Flow, we focused on how cities and urban areas have developed over the years. We first learned about how cities have always been centered around trade which has always relied on transportation and studied different modes of travel over the years that all contribute to urban planning. We took some time to learn about eminent domain which is something the state can use to claim private land from a private citizen for its own use if it has a strong case such as public use. We then looked at INVEST South/West, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's community development initiative to reverse disinvestment on Chicago's South and West Sides. This initiative is trying to bring together multiple city departments, community organizations, and corporate partners and so far the city has aligned more than $1.4 billion in public and private investment. We then moved on...
