CROSSY ROAD
This unit we redesigned something. There were many things we could do but I chose an intersection. We had several field experiences. One of which was with a tour guide who gave us a tour of the Chicago's world fair. 

SDG 11
My ap connected to several of the targets from sdg 11 but I will list two.

This one connects to the accessibility and improved safety of my design. People with disabilities will have an easier time crossing the road.

This really opens up access to the park and it would make it easier for everyone to access.

personally I had a lot of trouble with the 3d design. I knew I could make it but I didn't have everything I needed. I downloaded some custom content and it became a lot easier. I am very proud of the work I did. I think I showed my design in the way I wanted to and got it across.

Making a Space

Making a Space For this AP we focused on making our space usable for school and a place we would want to learn in. We discussed what defines a classroom. We took a field experience to Millenium Park to investigate what defines a classroom. As a school, we asked what it means to be a successful student and teacher at GCE. We discussed what we expect from ourselves and our teachers. The student body brainstormed the traits of a successful student and came up with a social contract for both the students and the teachers.   Social contract for students: We will work in a timely fashion. We will be curious. We will pay attention to the work, fellow students, and teachers. We will be encouraging. We will participate.

We will be understanding.   Both the student body and the teachers agre...

Upperclassmen Sex Education

This was our first unit of social entrepreneurship. We learned about how businesses work and about people get along. We also learned about human psychology and different systems that can be put in place. This was a really interesting unit because I got to think about things that I had never considered. I got to think about how employees interact with organizations themselves to create a productive, healthy environment.

My mom and the ducks

I have always been unsure of what the meaning of life is. I used to spend my time before bed thinking about it. It was a question that used to really matter to me. At some point I decided that life didn't need a meaning. We are here and we don't know why, so might as well make the most of it. For me, fretting about it felt like it wasn't worth the time. It was causing me more stress than it felt worth. From what I could tell there was no true “answer.” Everyone has different ideas and you can exist without coming to a conclusion. This action project required me to push out of my comfort zone and think about it. For this action project I interviewed my mother after school, in the yard. She and I have always been close but I had no clue what her idea of the meaning of life was before this project. Growing up she taught me empathy and how to form my own beliefs but I didn’t know hers! I was very excited to talk to her about this. My mom’s life has had many changes and she was...
