The creation of this site and our research into the SDGs - After meeting with our mentors, we were tasked to complete an in-depth research doc dedicated to all 17 SDGs. Upon completing this, we then moved onto the next task of creating our website.
We continued to dive into the different SDGs before narrowing down our focus. During Task three, we were required to start having an idea of what issue we will be covering. I chose to focus on SDG 9 and how it affects the cincinnati area and further. I also chose to present ways to improve cincinnatis infrastructure for my first idea.
This benchmark, I met with my advisor and discussed future plans regarding my capstone project. We discussed possible service projects and came up with ways to brainstorm. After choosing transportation within cincinnati, Ive decided to work on sustainable transportation. While Investigating further, I realized my project would focus better on SDG 11. As we transition to the next benchmark, I am continuing the development of my project idea and finalizing it.
During this benchmark, I brainstormed and prepared to propose my Take Action plan draft to my teachers and advisor. My Take Action plan consisted of creating a website based around sustainable energy that can be used in our communities. I proposed this plan to my advisor and implemented the provided feedback. Finally, after approval from my teachers, I was clear to begin benchmark E and begin my plan.
I began drafting my website and researching different methods to conduct experiments. Other than technical issues within the website builder, I had no real issues with my project. the drafting went smoothly and I refined the aesthetics by the due date.
After wrapping up the "take action" part of our project, my website was reviewed and I revised certain areas. To improve the interactiveness of my project, it was suggested that I perform an experiment at the showcase, wrapping up my project. As we reach the end of the capstone timeline, we are finishing our website drafts and refining it for the showcase.
