This picture shows two of our classmates working together to create a video that is displayed on the home page of our website. These student are collaborating and contributing ideas as well as a few others in their group assigned to create the video.

Our class created a city block using the Burgess Model which is a sociology theory explaining the zones and setup of urban areas. We created our city block using a 3-D website called TinkerCad. After we had finished we discussed our blocks as a class, we discussed what we could add or take away, which was our favorite, as well as comparing our models to some of the communities inside Birmingham.
These flyers are about having a policeman of the month in Birmingham. We want to start having a policeman of the month to make them feel more appreciated. If they want to be the policeman of the month, they would be pushed to work harder at their job and it would make the crime rate in Birmingham go down.
This flyer is about having an event one day to help cleanup Birmingham. People could volunteer to help Birmingham and in return get a rewards card with discounts and free items from local vendors. We put all of the information that people would need to help clean up the city.
We came up with solutions for revitalizing Birmingham that are featured on our "Solutions page." This picture is just a glimpse of how hard our classmates worked to accomplish our final product. Each student created a Canvas to show a way that locals could help revive Birmingham. You can go to the Solutions page to see all of the wonderful ideas we hope to see in the future to help Birmingham.
