• Using CoSpaces, an iPad, and Merge Cubes, I created six immersive scenes that depict my journey to the WNBA. Each scene captures a pivotal moment in my dream, from practicing my skills on the court to celebrating victories with my team. I wanted to share this experience with the world, showcasing not only my passion for basketball but also the hard work and dedication it takes to reach my goals. Through this innovative blend of technology and storytelling, I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how challenging they may seem. 

• My project closely aligns with the Global Collaborator standard, as it involved using digital tools to brainstorm and share ideas with others. By collaborating with classmates and leveraging technology, we were able to enhance our creativity and enrich our perspectives. This collaborative approach not only helped me develop my scenes in CoSpaces but also fostered a sense of community and shared purpose in our learning journey. Ultimately, it demonstrated the power of teamwork in pursuing our dreams and making a positive impact. 

• One challenge I faced during this project was figuring out how to turn the Merge Cube effectively. Initially, I struggled to get it to rotate as needed, but I overcame this obstacle by asking for help and experimenting with the various buttons. Through persistence and collaboration, I was able to master the controls, which ultimately enhanced my ability to create and showcase my scenes. This experience taught me the importance of seeking assistance and being open to trying new approaches. 

• If given the chance to do this project again, I would change both the content I created and my design approach. The initial process I used was quite time-consuming, which ultimately hindered my ability to complete all the work on time. By streamlining my design and focusing on more efficient methods, I could better balance creativity with productivity, allowing for a smoother workflow and a more polished final product. This experience has taught me the value of planning ahead and managing my time effectively in future projects.  

• My project connects to the Digital Multimedia Career and Technical Education (CTE) program at Hastings High School, as it involved creating engaging digital content using tools like CoSpaces and Merge Cubes. This program emphasizes the development of skills in design, storytelling, and multimedia production, all of which were integral to my project. By exploring these digital technologies, I was able to express my creativity while also gaining valuable experience that aligns with the goals of the Digital Multimedia program. This connection highlights the importance of integrating technology and storytelling in modern education. 

• My project connects to careers in augmented reality design, as I created an engaging story aimed at entertaining users through immersive experiences. Just like a professional in the augmented reality field, I focused on designing interactive elements that draw people in and enhance their understanding of the narrative. This parallel underscores the importance of creativity and technical skills in both my project and the work of augmented reality designers, showcasing how storytelling can come to life in innovative ways.
