For the third unit of our STEAM class LST (Light, Sound, and Time), we learned about time and space. We visited the Adler Planetarium to learn more about light, space, and time, and how they're all interconnected and how they affect one another. For this Action Project, we had to make our own design for a new type of clock or time-telling device, and create a short video about it. Initially, my main idea for my time-telling device was a clock that used different colored LED lights  for different hours of the day, with a light in the middle to differentiate AM and PM. Eventually, though, that idea ended up getting scrapped, as it didn't really have anything to connect back to in the past aside from other digital clocks. It also didn't have any real meaning behind it, or any meaningful direction to develop, unlike my final idea for a time-telling device. Below is my recording, detailing my time-telling device Pet Time, what it does, and who it's targeted to. Pe

In this second unit of our Humanities Class Argument, Abduction, we learned more about the Constitution of the United States, as well as the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Our class went out on a Field Experience to the immigration courts downtown to get a better idea of the process, and we later watched the movie 13th by Ava DuVernay to see how the 13th Amendment to the constitution has impacted African Americans over time. For this Action Project, we had to take a look at our school's student handbook and argue for our own changes to be made to a specific part of it. Below is my argument on how our open campus policy should be changed to allow students more freedom. The Student Handbook describes important information about Global Citizenship Experience Lab School, including information regarding student conduct. While I do agree with the majority of the rules stated in the Handbook, there is a rule that I want to amend regarding the open campus policy. T
