My project is combating a problem that every surfer or beachgoer goes through in Costa Rica, Sea Lice bites.
The point of this project is to spread awareness to tourists about the negative impacts they have on Costa Rica. My thought process was that I can end take a welcome book and put on-page tips and alternative ways to lessen their impact on the environment in Costa Rica as a tourist.
A mini library with a variety of books for grades 6-12 to access during lunch break until the end of the school day where they can borrow a book and return it anytime within a two week time period.
Teachers and coaches are not allowing us to use volleyballs during our breaks in school. They have their reasons, students have lost half of the school volleyball the last semester and now we don´t get to play with them anymore because the rest of them could get lost. My solution is to create a sign-up sheet and be able to keep track who took which volleyball and when.
CoMath is an app where students and people from around the world can ask questions when they are confused. By doing this, they will receive multiple perspectives and in turn, have a higher chance of understanding the problem or idea they are confused about.
Creating a memorable PROM.
My passion project is about making plastic-implemented shirts that will have an AI design on them. This will advertise the beauty of Costa Rica while also having a deeper goal and meaning behind it. The profits will go towards supporting a charity that is just starting up as well. They are focused on reducing the levels of plastic for Costa Rica.
The mission of healthy living is to make it easier for people to have an application to improve their diets. Our goal is to teach and shape how people view health and enable them to see the impact of what we eat on the world. Healthy living provides nutritious learning opportunities. Healthy Life is a project that promotes a sustainable future and a healthy lifestyle.
Peer to Peer mental health support, a place to get advice and vent.
My passion project is to create a running club for the students here at CRIA. Originally, it started as an idea for a charitable 5k but it quickly transitioned into becoming an ASA. Now, every Wednesday from 3:15-4 the running club is in full swing. I currently have 7 runners and I am hoping to have at least 10-12 by this time next year.
My goal is to get the dogs from Halfway Home adopted, fostered, and improve their quality of life!
I want to create a food pantry/drive where those in need can access the sustenance they require. This will be more of a "pop-up" thing and be held hopefully around once per month. I plan to distribute mainly canned and non-perishable food items.
Donating art supplies to a local school
My project is about spreading awareness of some struggles wild birds have and give some information about birds.
The School Box: a specially designed organization box with different components and compartments for all your student need. So, you never lose another pencil again.
My Passion Project promotes the idea of making improved soccer fields in my school and around the area. This is to benefit the players and help reduce injuries since the fields in Guanacaste aren't taken care of.
It is a look into the capabilities of something that is evolving all the time in our world; the 3d printer. From printing replacement pieces to things within your house or even printing a house made of concrete.
A strap for fishing with smaller reels
My game
Everyone who purchases a used book from me will also be given a free potted flower or seeds. I started this to reduce carbon emissions, and to promote the hobbies of gardening and reading.
Informing as many people as I can on the severity and reality of Sexual Harassment. Sharing real peoples stories and direct quotes as well as many statistics. Changing the mindset from "What was she wearing?" to "How can I help?" and "Is she ok?"
The Dance Project is a club for primary school students. This club consists of a safe and comfortable environment for students to express themselves through different movement and styles of dance. It includes learning new ways to discover and find comfort in who you are. As well as, getting to know other students and making new friends throughout the learning process.
The idea of Wonder Jars is to make unbaked cheesecake a transportable dessert, so it can be a refreshing dessert with easy access. When you purchase one you give back the jar after you eat the cheesecake to make it friendly for the environment.
Reimagining streetlights for accessibility
I created biodegradable fishing lures to help with plastic waste.
In this project I talk about the advantages of drinking water in the morning and giving reasons or advices as to why to do it, by doing this I also talked about my background as to why working on this project.
Autism effects 1/36 children in the United States. Autism is a lifelong, non-progressive neurological disorder typically appearing before the age of three years. The word “autism” means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and non-verbal communication and social interaction.
Autism can't really be defined in a simple definition, it is more complex than just a diagnoses.
A program created to make school uniforms more cost-effective, and environment friendly.
I had the idea to stop wasting popped soccer balls and came up with an idea why not just turn them into médecin balls to work out with which is what I did.
My passion project is a new way of seeing Costa Rica. It lets people see how there are options in choosing from expensive clothing and cheap clothing. I focus mainly on creating good looking and not too pricy fishing clothing. Fishing is so important in this area and that is why I’m focusing on that.
Why compost is the future and what problems might arise with soil.
