This section is a catch-all for projects with multiple kinds of media. The most common format here is a website, but even there, you'll find everything from blogs to Google Sites. As always, the inspiration came from the real world:
The first two projects below are highlights. Julia M. produced a weekly blog through Substack, and Brandon M. tracked his months-long efforts to create a video game based on Frankenstein.

Jewels Blog
💬 I aim to delve into the unique ways at which fashion, emotions, friends, and decision making intertwine into our high school lives. How they make us the person we are today. Fashion makes us our unique and individual person. It adds to the diversity and individuality of high school. People use it to express emotions, embrace personal growth, and have a positive impact. My blog will empower and inspire people to embrace their individuality. Together we can navigate through the world of emotions, high school, and fashion which we can find the incredible potential they hold.

Rediscovering Reading: Vagabond, Monster, and More
Rediscovering Reading: Vagabond, Monster, and More
💬 My statement of purpose is writing about the value of reading and its importance. Here I will talk about various forms of writing to convince non-readers to read more. I would like to make an essay or website to talk about these forms of reading in writing to express how I feel towards it. Since I'm doing two books that are manga I will use this as an example since these books are what motivated me from their artwork and plot. By using these books I will bring in the use of literature and its purpose as an important part of education.

Frankenstein: Creating a Video Game
Frankenstein: Creating a Video Game
💬 I'm not sure why or how or when, but I've always just wanted to put something out into the world. I want to add more free pieces of media to the world, not just as a static blueprint of some kind, like most old pieces of media seem to be, but I want to create something that people can interact with fully and turn into their own creations. This project, my game, won't accomplish this, I know that already, however it's a major step in getting to the kind of skill level to really put something fully unique out in the world. This project already has me thinking of how and what I might create next, and I'm having lots of new ideas. However right now I need to focus on getting this done first, which for me can end up being pretty difficult at times. My main goal right now, at this moment, with this project, is to create something people will enjoy, and inspire others in any way I can artistically. My secondary goal is just to learn so I can finally start taking the steps to create something big. And as a general goal as it's what this game is based off of to begin with, I want to give some sort of encouragement for people to at the very least look into the Mary Shelley classic, Frankenstein. I want to make every part of my game completely unique, and once I've finished it I plan to make a decent portion of the game's assets public so people can study them and learn from them. However I do want to do this a bit after the game gains some traction, I don't want someone swooping in to take my work and my credit. However I will encourage potential remakes or reimaginings of what I've already created. A major goal of mine will always be, throughout all my work, to give something to the world that people can learn from, and reuse to create or assist their own stories and ideas.Â

Screen Time and Social Media
Screen Time and Social Media
💬 From group members: It's no surprise that everyone has access to technology these days, whether it's for work or for entertainment. Some even have access at a very young age and are exposed to a variety of content that may not be suitable for them. Our generation can't spend a lot of time in silence without their phone and going on social media, we need to be distracted by something as if we made it a need instead of a want. But we kind of wanted to focus on that but our main point is to point out the amount of time they spend using technology and to realize that is not healthy and consider reducing it.

💬 I will be presenting the details that people don't see in pitching mechanics and how I have developed to throw harder and compare my pitching to a professional player. I would also be talking a little bit about baseball in general on my website. I would be talking about my pitching for about 10-15 minutes and edit the video and play some music in the background.

Language and Culture: Learning Polish and Ukrainian
Language and Culture: Learning Polish and Ukrainian
💬 The desire of our senior talk is to showcase multiple perspectives on how languages are similar like the Ukrainian and Polish Languages. Me and Brendan have backgrounds in these cultures because our families are Ukrainian and Polish. We were talking and we noticed that many different things that our cultures do are very similar to each other. From the food they eat to the words they use. This led us to our senior project idea. We felt that showcasing this in a website would be a awesome way to introduce people to these cultures.
