ESports Eスポーツ
Alondra Rodriguez
This presentation is to inform and explain what esports is in general and how esports is in japan. I always loved playing games and never knew about esports until my friend told me. Esports is more than just games, but a professional sport like any other sports where the players take time to practice and prepare. I learned that professional esports bring people to work as a team. I want to correctly inform people about esports so it gets the respect and status it deserves.
Alexandra tries out Japanese Street Fashion!
アレクサンドラのストリートファッション挑戦
Alexandra Garcia
I recorded a video that shows me trying out various Japanese street fashion. The reason why I choose this topic is because I was always interested in fashion and fashion is like a work of art to me. I learned several people interested in street fashion and how they took their emotions and made them express themselves through fashion. I wanted to try something new, something that makes me feel happy. And I found this video project will forever be in my memories.
Japanese Pop Culture
日本のポップカルチャー
Mathea Alonzo-Ruelas
I created a website that explains, teaches, and informs people about Japanese pop culture. I choose this topic, because I love the aspects of Japanese pop culture like anime, manga, music, video games, and more. I learned that Japanese pop culture has many subcultures that makeup Japan and aspects that make Japan know well worldwide. I am interested in learning more about the aspects I already know about Japanese pop culture and the aspects I have yet to learn.

Beautiful Bonsai
美しい盆栽
Abigail Ferrales
I created a poster/drawing depicting different types of Japanese art styles and different painters. I chose this topic because I didn't know much about it and I always enjoyed doing art and learning more about it. I learned that a lot of Japanese Art was influenced by Chinese Art as well. One Japanese art style that I particularly liked was Sumi-e. It is art that is done in monochrome and is black. I thought it was beautiful how using one color can produce such a beautiful piece of art.

Early History of Japan
古代日本の歴史
Pedro Aguirre-Salas
I created an Infographic on ancient Japanese history. I chose my topic because I love history. I especially love ancient history, such as Ancient Rome or Classical Greece. I loved to learn about how the ancient Japanese emperors used ideal from China and India to make their home a better place.
Japanese and American Role Models
日本とアメリカの理想像
Jezmarie Avila
I chose this topic because I wanted to learn more about what kinds of people teens idolize in Japan. Japan and America have very different cultures, so I wondered if that affected the type of people they look up to also. I found that we look up to many people for the same reason. Many teens in Japan and America want change, which is why some of the most famous people in these countries are promoting these changes. I think this shows that we are not all so different, and that our race does not affect what we value.
One Chance
하나 機会
Nevaeh Drummer
I composed an original song to open up people’s minds more and to change their judgement upon different genres of music. Writing the chorus for me was the most important part since the message is clearly said in the chorus, and I do hope that people start to give different types of music chances no matter if you can understand it or not. I also hope that me writing songs in different languages that aren’t my native language also motivates people to do or listen to something new.
The Era of the Samurai
侍の時代
Jose Daniel Ramos
I chose the Samurai because I believe without them the world would be less interesting. Then after this project I realized how the Samurai, Shogun, Daimyos, and Emperors were all so important in Japan. I believe that without the samurai, Japan wouldn't be the way it is today; filled to the top with fascinating culture and customs, rich in history and legacy. In conclusion, I think the Samurai are really important to the world's history.
Animals Under Covid-19
コロナウイルスとどうぶつ
Betzi Mena & Annette Duran
We made a google slide presentation about zoos and aquariums and how they are being impacted by Covid-19. We both love animals, so this topic is important to us. We included how you can support zoos/aquariums during these times. Everyone is impacted, including animals, so every little bit helps.

Brianna Garcia
I created a project that talked about what I find interesting in Japanese fashion and movies. I chose this topic because even though they are completely different things, they both influenced me into learning more about the Japanese culture. I have learned that fashion in Japan inspires fashion all around the world! Japan has impacted my life because it is totally different from what I’m used to and I would love to continue learning more!

Getting to Know Japanese Spirituality
日本の宗教観
David Amesquita
My project is about how spiritual beliefs have changed and what Shinto and Buddhism are. Something interesting about Shinto isn't preached and doesn't have scriptures but is instead embedded into Japanese traditions. Something else that piqued my interest was that the sun god (Amaterasu) was the most important god.
