For our Academy at the Creek class, we were given an assignment to help solve a global goal. Our goal was Goal 4: Quality Education. We decided to create a curriculum that would help teach children in South Sudan. The curriculum will help educate the children so they can become more educated which will help South Sudan become a more flourishing place.
The first week of our project we completed research about all of the Global Goals. We then had to choose which Global Goal we wanted to help solve. We chose Goal 4: Quality Education. After choosing our goal, we started to brainstorm different ideas of how we could help solve this problem. Once we came up with a general idea to help achieve our goal, we began to look at finances for a warehouse, how much it takes for other workbooks to be manufactured, supply costs, and other necessities. For the next two weeks, we made our curriculum workbooks. This part took the longest to complete because there is so much that goes into making a curriculum - especially to make it understandable for students in South Sudan to complete. Near the end of creating this project, we made our presentation which we presented to our mentors, our Academy class, and four local community members. Our presentation included our logo, the workbooks we created, a commercial, and research.
To create our logo, we used a website called Logo Maker. From there we scrolled through the various design templates to see which one truly fit our curriculum. Once we found one we liked, we went through and edited it to our liking. Our logo ended up being earth shaped and filled with children of various colors. We liked this design because we thought it symbolized how children are the future of the world.
To create our commercial, we filmed and edited on our phones using the iMovie app. To start working on our advertisement, we created a script that would go over the basics of what our curriculum includes. We took a whole class period to film our video, and then afterwards we started to edit. Our advertisement is 45 seconds long because that was the maximum amount of time we could have on our commercial. Our advertisement shows students working in our workbooks and it talks about the basics of our presentation.
We presented our project to our mentor teachers, other Academy students, and four local community members. Throughout the presentation they were intrigued by our sample workbooks that had grades kindergarten, fourth grade, eighth grade, and eleventh grade materials. Each of these workbooks contain math, reading, science, and some writing activities. Our presentation was in the format of the popular TV show Shark Tank. At the end of our presentation the community members all voted to support our project.

For our Academy at the Creek class, we were given an assignment to help solve a global goal. Our goal was Goal 3: Good Health and Well Being. We decided to create a business called Precarious Plastics. The purpose of our business is to inform about the dangers of plastic surgery.
We spent a week doing research during our Academy class. First, we had to think of our goal and which part of the goal we were aiming for. The next few days were spent thinking about finances and how much money it would take to start this type of a business. After that, for the next two weeks, we started to do research for the curriculum of our business. We created the curriculum courses along the way. Towards the end, we made the actual presentation. The presentation includes links to our research, our dream building and our commercial.
We presented our presentation in front of our mentors. The mentors were administrators in our building and members of our local community. The feedback we received from our mentors was to advertise our business on social media as well as at health expos.
To create this logo, we used Canva. We like Canva because you can do so much with the program. To begin designing we chose the logo template to edit. Then we made the color of the background navy blue. Next, we added the text. We used the fonts Nourd and Kollektif. These fonts compliment each other well. We chose to make the letters white because we knew they would pop on the navy blue background. The words Precarious Plastics are in all caps because it is the title of our business and we wanted people to see that first. Finally, we added the lines. We picked these lines because it made the curving text look more separated from the title so it would stand out more. The curving text is actually the slogan of the business.
Our business card can be found on the last page of our presentation. To create the business card, we used Canva. To begin, we chose a template and deleted what we didn’t want to include. We wanted to keep with our navy and white colors so we made the background navy and used white text. We added our logo so everything would look consistent. We used a fake address, phone number and email so our personal information would be protected.
To create our video advertisement, we filmed it on our phones and used the iMovie app to edit. We wrote a script that would go along with the purpose of our business plan. It took one class period to film and it took a couple of days to edit the video. The video is 45 seconds long because that is the time limit our teachers gave us to work with. The time limit was given for our video so it would feel more like a commercial.
