In benchmark A,  we found out more information about the 17 SDGs, and we figured out which ones spoke to us (SDGs 1, 2, and 3). We also met our advisor, Mr. Tash, and we talked to him about what SDGs we want to incorporate in our capstone. He is a really good advisor and we are lucky to have him!

In benchmark B,  we identified Glocal issues within 3 SDGs of our choice. The SDGs we chose were No Poverty,  Zero Hunger, and Good Health and Well Being. We chose these SDGs because they all closely relate, and they tie into what we want to base our capstone on. For our capstone project, we have decided that we want to focus on giving back to the youth and the impoverished.

In benchmark C, we met up with our advisor, Mr. Tash, to tell him what we plan to do for our take action plan. We have decided to partnership with Bigger Than Sneakers (BTS). BTS' motto is "To empower and Inspire the leaders of today." We feel like this program is very beneficial because they are all about bringing up the communities in Cincinnati. 

Not only did we meet with our advisor during this time, but we also met with Natalie Morean, the cofounder of BTS, via Google Meet to chat about logistics regarding our volunteering.

In benchmark D, we finally completed our take action plan!!! It was quite a fulfilling experience, being able to assist BTS with giving back to our community. It is something we will definitely never forget.
