High School

The project was made to improve my understanding and skill in digital arts. The focus question was "how to paint or draw digitally? " To answer this question I used the Krita application to draw a digital art piece and at the meanwhile learning tricks and tips for the application's usage.

We did an experiment to find out whether male or female dogs were more likely to get distracted by a metal fork's sound when dropped. We tested two small breed dogs of two different genders and recorded their reaction when we dropped a fork 3 meters away from them.

So I wanted to put together two of my favorite photos in two different locations: Paraguay and the Grand Canyon. I wanted to make it look professional and smooth. I wanted them to match as well and make it look real. I used gimp and I’m proud of my results.

So coming in to this project, I had so many questions about game development. Some of those questions were: How long will it take? Or like it very hard like I think it is? And the answer for those 2 are, no. Making a 2D game is very short and very easy if you are willing to sacrifice time, and effort into this. I really liked this project.

This project is a three-point perspective drawing of a building. It is shaded, surrounded by nature, and illuminated by a beam of light. The problem, or challenge, was drawing a realistic 3-D image into a 2-D surface.

My main inquiry for the whole project was: "What is the biggest group of the plant kingdom, and how can we categorize them?" So, I researched several things based on it, and I got to know about angiosperms and monocots and dicots, which are some ways we can categorize the group.

I did a video about bee pollination. I talked about what bee pollination is and why it's important.

The project is about dogs' affectionate behaviors. It consisted of a field study where my group and I analyzed and observed our dogs' behavior around different people.

Our question was how different insects are affected by different weathers. We observed different insects and saw how they reacted in different climates.

Why go sustainable? For the Ivy League project I chose architecture as the career to base my work on, specifically sustainable architecture. I made a more sustainable and more modern version of the school to portray the information learned about the topic and how it could benefit the community along with an explanatory presentation.

I take digital design as an elective and in the class, we all have different projects that we are working on. My project is photo editing so I would edit a picture and then make a slide show and present it to my teacher and my class. After I present they give me feedback on things I could improve on. Then when there is nothing else to improve on I pick a new picture to edit.

This project is a video game. We took the game Mario 64 and made brand new levels to replace the old ones and to make a brand new experience. We ended up with a few fleshed out levels to play with. We did this by modeling an area in SketchUp and importing it into the game to replace the areas created by the original designers.

Me and my partners wanted to investigate about the food chains in a rainforest and how energy flows through different organisms in that unique environment. We first needed more background knowledge on rainforest and how it has a major impact on wild animals and plants. After acquiring all of our information we decided to look up a specific rainforest and develop a food web from that rainforest. We chose the Amazon Rainforest because it is the largest rainforest in the world with approximately 10 million species of animals, plants, and insects. When developing our food web, we chose specific producers and consumers that has a connection of energy flow between each other due to their diets.

For this project we worked together to make observations on birds. We wanted to know at which time of the day they are more active, at what time they hum more and know if the climate has something to do with their activities. We made observations on birds for about 3 weeks at different times of the day ( morning, afternoon, night) to see at white time of the day they are more active, and it is on the mornings.

"How are sharks and ocean' ecosystems affected by human interference?" is the central question that inspired our presentation. We created a google slide that contains essential information about our topic, pictures, charts, and some interactive activities for the viewers to experience. Our main theme was about how sharks are important to ocean ecosystems and how human impact is affecting our oceans by killing sharks. One of the purposes for which we created this presentation is to generate a healthy conscience to our viewers about how important it is to take responsibility for our actions (such as throwing one-use plastics). Not only that, but we also want to inspire our viewers and students to start appreciating our Earth and to take care of it accordingly with our presentation.
