Fashion and Indentity

This unit in Systems and Models, we learned about experiments, quasi-experiments and case studies. We went more in depth about what made a good experiment/case based on the scientific methods. During this course, we read a couple of articles and deciphered which article was the most effective. We didn't get the chance to go on any FE's this unit because we were busy researching for our AP. The purpose of this Action Project is to conduct a research study based on group observation (must include observation of selected group interacting among itself and at least once with another group). Demonstrate scientific method. This AP was time-consuming because it required gathering observations, interviews, gathering research and analyzing data. I worked with a partner, so the work was divided up equally. Overall, I think our research paper came out decent.
Hope you enjoy!

A Person With and From Within

During this unit, we learned about psychology and took a variety of personality tests. One test that stood out to me was the Myers-Briggs test because I got results that aligned with how I view myself.This test gave numerous scenarios that you would have to disagree, agree with or choose somewhere in the middle. For this Action Project, we had to create a self-portrait using all the psychology knowledge that we’ve learned over the past few weeks and create an artist statement explaining your piece. Below are my art piece and artist statement. I hope you enjoy!

A Person With and From Within, LD, 2017, Collage

My art piece, A Person With and From Within is a character that portrays LD, this character shows the traits that I have within myself as well as traits I don’t identify with. To create this piece, I used a 14 by 14 piece of fabric that is layered upon more fabric to create the character. Before creating my piece, I sketched out what I wanted my art piece to look like after I gathered a variety of different materials and followed my sketch as to what I wanted the character to look like. In the outside world, I am viewed as extroverted, a natural leader, spontaneous and adaptable. I have taken a few personality tests during the past month; one test whose results surprised me was the DiSC test. The results stated that I am Dominant and Cautious meaning I am decisive, driven, logical and analytical. While some of this might be true, I don’t view myself decisive at all. To highlight my indecisiveness in this piece, I decide to use different materials to create the character to symbolize that I find it hard to stick to one thing. Another test that shocked me was the True Color Test. I found out that I was best described as the orange color because I am good at making decisions, a natural leader and can dominate a situation. What is strange about these results is that I disagree with all of them; I view myself as a follower and have always hated the fact that I couldn’t make my own decisions. To incorporate this into my piece, I decided to I use fabric instead of paint or markers to symbolize that I feel as if I have to display different personalities.

When people view my piece, I want them to understand that we humans possess a variety of personalities but it doesn’t mean we are not being authentic or true to ourselves just because we acknowledge one and ignore the other in situations. There are also test that dictate how you will do in an outside environment such as the TKI test and the Myers-Briggs test. The TKI Conflict Mode Instrument test measures the different degrees of assertiveness and cooperativeness. This test is often used to see how one might solve issues in the job field. My results came in as Competing, meaning that I express above average assertiveness and below average cooperation and that people I work with tend to think that I like to have things my way. I think I am Avoiding because I don’t involve myself in conflicts at all, but when I do I do tend to like to have my things a certain way, I can see both sides of an argument and reflect on my own opinion. I view myself as being the exact opposite of assertive; I am passive and will not involve myself in any conflictions. I found a trend when taking these test that I am a dominant or assertive.I decided to incorporate that trait in my piece because although I might not view myself as this, there might be a part of me that are these traits. The dramatic features such as the lips, nose, eyes, and eyebrows symbolize my dominant personality traits like being assertive.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a test that measures psychological preferences in how individuals perceive, interact and make decisions. There are 16 different types of personalities that the Myers-Briggs test presents. I got ENTP meaning I am more extroverted and get more energy from being with others, I am more intuitive meaning I act on things instead of observing. I think more about my decision than act on my feelings. I feel like this is the most accurate depiction of how I view myself. To incorporate these results into my piece, I decided to make the pupils tiny to represent that I don’t observe as much as I act.

The Senior class went to the Museum of Contemporary Art to look at the art as well as the artist’s statements. During my time there, I found a few artist’s statements that had lots of detail and a deep understanding of the purpose of their piece. I also saw a few that left me a bit confused; they lacked context or purpose. I took inspiration from an artist named Siobhan Hapaska by giving lots of detail and explanation about my piece in my artist statement.This process was a bit long because I had to make each piece look like a facial feature. Overall, creating the piece was extremely fun for me because I like to make art. I really enjoyed this Action Project, I enjoyed creating my art piece by cutting different fabrics up and gluing it onto the page because I don’t have time to create art as much as I used to. If I were to do this project again, I would incorporate more elements to my art piece. I felt as if I didn’t have enough time to make it exactly how I wanted it to look, but it looks similar to what I had in mind.

Helping Our School One Prototype At A Time

This unit in Rapid Prototyping, we learned about Riemann Sums, Delta and Cartesians 3D printers and the advancement of 3d printers. A Delta 3D printer is a printer that has a pyramid-like shape with three arms and Cartesian 3D printers are cubes that have 3 dimensions (x,y, and z).  My favorite FE during this unit was going to the Museum of Science and Industry, I hadn't been to that museum in a while and it brought back a lot of memories. Not only did the museum make me feel nostalgic, it related to what we were learning about 3D printers, technology, and design in Rapid Prototyping.  The purpose of this AP was to prototype something that would help our school. We worked with a partner and created 3 different prototypes: we created a clay version, 3D printed and cardboard prototype. I am very happy with the results of my final AP for this unit. Below is my slideshow, enjoy!

                 

Carve or DIE!

This unit in Rapid Prototyping, our class learned about 2.5D shapes, calculating the distance of a #D shape. The mass is how many atoms are an object. Density is how close the molecules are in an object and the volume of a rectangular prism is l*w*h. For the Field Experience, we went out to Harold Washington Library, to the program YOUMedia. We got a tour around the place and their Maker Lab. The purpose of this Action Project is to create 2 prototypes of a plaque regarding one of the school's core values, APGAA. This project made me think more about designing and how much technology has helped designers create their own ideas. I would like to use a program like Easel and hopefully will carve more in the future!

 

Protoyping The Goals of the Nation

This unit in Rapid Prototyping, we learned about networks, traversable and shapes. Networks are a system of lines and vertices, if a shape is traversable, this means that it is traceable without lifting a writing device. To determine whether a shape is traversable they must either have 2 odd and the rest even or all vertices are even. The class visited Mhub, where they talked to the co-founder of Mhub and looked around the department, where they showed the CNC room and Workshop room. The purpose of this Action Project was to create a mini-poster of SDG goal by hand and by using a cameo-cutter. This AP was simple yet fun to complete, I liked using Silhouette STudio to cameo print my mini-poster. Below is my AP: Prototyping the Goals of the Nation

Investing in My Future

Planning My Future

For this unit in Economics: Risking Value, the senior class explored the world of economics; we learned about the market, stocks, supply and demand, opportunity cost, interest rates and much more! or an FE, we went to Capital One Cafe near our school. I really liked the cafe ambiance of the bank; it made banks seem less intimidating. The purpose of this AP is to choose a career that you plan to do in the future and have two options of how you will get there. I really liked this AP because it is relevant to my situation as a senior about to graduate. It made me realize what options are realistic and which are not.

Below is my Project:

Introduction to Economics AP, LD,2017,Soundcloud

Script:

Hi, I’m LD and a senior at GCE Lab School currently taking a class called Economics: Risking Value. I’ll be graduating this year and after high school, I’d like to become an entrepreneur in New York City. After New York, I would like to expand my business in Japan. I want to build my own film production business as an outlet for young teens to produce their own work. It will become a means for young teens to voice their opinion on mainstream media. In order to do this, I must attend college.

I chose my top 2 college choices: NYU Stern and Parsons School of Design.

They are both in the heart of New York City, which is where I’d like to be. Both schools have entrepreneurship majors as well as film programs. The main difference between the two colleges is that NYU is a pretty large school that cost a lot of money while Parsons is smaller and cost almost a third less NYU. Throughout this AP, I am weighing options to decide which college is better for me.

During the process of this AP, I wanted to interview my dad who has created his own IT business with his close friends. I look up to my dad because he has been through a lot during his life while trying to build his own business. While interviewing him about college and how I should go about my own business he said,”You should go to a college that best fits your interests, get in where you fit in, you will be amazed as to where life gets you, so never give up on what you want to do, even if you have to make some sacrifices for it.”

Total Cost of Parsons School of Design,LD,Google Sheets.2017

Total Cost of NYU,LD, Google Sheets, 2017

Looking at the calculations, the total cost of NYU is $911,702 and the total cost of Parsons is $347,303. The annualized increase rate is 5%, causing the price to increase every year. This shows that money today is worth more than money tomorrow because I didn’t have enough money to pay the full amount, every year I would have to pay an interest. Going to NYU would take 20 years if I paid 58% of my salary going toward the loans and 25% of every check going to my loan for Parsons School of Design for 19 years.

By referring to my Current vs. Future Market that shows the current market for being a film producer/director, you can tell that the supply and demand for the job are increasing. A market is when both parties are selling and buying. The seller's objective is to sell goods and services at the best price. The buyers objective is to acquire goods and services at the best price possible. Supply is the total amount of goods or services while demand is the consumers want to buy a good or service for a certain price. The number of people in the field in 2014 is 122,600 and n 2026, the number of people in this field is predicted to increase by 11,100. My salary as a director/producer as well as a small business owner will increase also. 

 Current vs. Future Market, LD, Google Drawings,2017

Throughout the project, I made a few assumptions to predict the future.These assumptions allow me to create a model; if assumptions are done incorrectly they can lead you down a wrong path of false numbers and calculations. A few assumptions I made were: the tuition cost of both colleges assuming that I didn’t receive any financial aid or scholarships, how much money I would be making as an entrepreneur for the first few years and the annual salary raise( how much my salary raise would increase every year). If I did receive a scholarship, then this calculation would differ and I wouldn’t end up paying the full amount. Assumptions are important because they allow us to accurately predict the future.

So, is NYU and Parsons a better for me? My final decision is Parsons School of Design. I think it is an overall better choice financially and realistically. I would only have to pay 28% of my salary of $171000 for 19 years, if I decided to go to NYU I would have to pay much more and for a longer time. Although the programs may not be as great as NYU, I can still work toward my business. I will spend 4 years at Parsons and after graduate with a BBA.

Building A Better City

This unit in urban planning the junior class learned about urban planning and the history of it. I learned that urban planning is the development of an area that includes the community, nature, infrastructure housing, and services. For a Field Experience, my class got the opportunity to look at the urban planning around Wrigley Field. Our tour guide, James, showed us examples of good urban planning and bad urban planning. This FE helped me plan out what I wanted to do for my Action Project. For our last Action Project, we had to select any area around the world and redesign it. I chose to redesign my neighborhood, Bronzeville, as I wanted to fix the area up in a way I thought was the most efficient.

Saving Energy

This unit for Urban Planning, we learned about electricity, the flow of electrons and how to make a successful circuit. I learned about AC and DC: AC is alternating current that was founded by Nikola Tesla, it's usually used for long distances. DC is direct current and used for modern electronics with computer chips and anything powered by batteries For our FE we went to Robot City, an organization that teaches the youth how to build robots. We built a speaker from a circuit, it was a bit confusing but overall it was fun building it and looking at the robots they've built. The purpose of this Action Project was to build an energy efficient circuit that would represent household items. This action project was fairly easy and simple. Below is my slideshow, enjoy!

              

Trussful Bridge

This term in Urban Planning, we learned about the process of building a city; I learned more about why things are placed where they are. We also went in depth about Newton's Laws of Motion and how they connect to bridges. Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction, this means that a bridge's downward force is reacting with the normal force of the earth and the bridge's support. My favorite FE was when we walked from Michigan to Hubbard St. and looked at the different types of bridges around the city. The purpose of this AP was to create a truss bridge given 60 popsicles that would uphold at least 10 pounds. Surprisingly, our bridge held 10 pounds only weighing 60.4 grams! I didn't expect to hold that much because the base wasn't as supportive.

                               

The New and Improved Contact... THE TIMETACT

This unit for LST,my class explored time, if time is even real, how to view time and how to measure time. I learned that one of the first ways people used to measure time was the sundial. The sundial measures time with the sun and casts a shadow from a stick. Whichever angle that shadow is casting, you add an hour for every 15 degrees. For our field experience, my class went to the Planetarium to get a better understanding of light and how the universe displays that. The purpose of this Action Project is to create a unique time telling device that is inspired from the ones we looked at in class.

My idea for a new time-telling device is contact lenses that display time 24/7. The time will be embedded during the process of getting your prescription at the eye doctor. It will be a contact where the time will be displayed inside the prescription. The units will be second, minutes and hours, just like any other modern clock, but it will not be a clock more just a display for time. The contact that tells time is related to light because it attaches to the eye. In order for the eye to work, the pupil lets light in and when a contact is put on top of the eye light is going through contact and then the eye.The contact is effective because you will always be able to keep track of time, there is no way right now to always be on track of time 24/7.It prevents people from being late because the person will know always know what time it is.

Tuning my Diddley Bow

Diddley Bow,(LD),2017

This unit in Light, Sound and Time, we studied and explored what sound is. Sound are the vibrations traveling through mediums then into our ears. We dove deeper into frequency and wavelengths and how the pitch of a sound affects the wavelength and frequency. I also learned that the speed of sound is 343 meters per second and travels differently depending on the density of the object. My class visited the Chicago Hearing Society, an organization that helps people hard of hearing or deaf for one of our Field Experiences. We listened and asked questions to some of the volunteers that were deaf, I learned how to say thank you and you’re welcome in American Sign Language (ASL).

For this Action Project, we had to create a Diddley bow, something similar to a guitar. We had to create it with wooden sticks, tin cans, nails and batteries. This project was fun and interesting to do, to know more about it keep reading below.

Diddley Bow Diagram, (LD),2017,Befunky

To create the Diddley bow I had to gather, nails, strings, a tin can, a wooden stick, and a glue stick. Then I created a hole at the back of the tin can, then put the tin can down sideways on the wooden stick. To stabilize the tin can, I nailed two nails front and back, then I inserted a string through the tin can tying it from the front nail. Then I nailed a nail in the back of the tin can, pulled the strings as tight as possible around that nail and then inserted the glue stick for tension. Finally, I plucked the string and it created a guitar-like note. The Diddley bow and guitar make sound similarly, first one has to pluck a string then the vibration travels through the body then into the tin can, amplifying the sound, allowing people to hear the note. The thickness of the string is 1.3cm and length is 12cm.

Math:

Frequency and Wavelengths,( LD),Google Drawing, 2017

This diagram explains the vibration, frequencies and wavelengths of my Diddley Bow at certain points of the string. Frequency is the number of complete cycles per second, in the case it is vibrations per second, and is measured in hertz. Wavelength is the distance from one peak to the next and can be thought of as one complete wave cycle.

Peep Inside My Pinhole Camera

This unit is about light, sound and time, discovering what each means and how they all work together on earth. We explored our eyes,and looked into what parts make up a camera and eye..This was one of my favorite units this school year because I got to learn so much about light. I learned about why we see colors the way we do, which is because the colors of the spectrum are being absorbed and the color you are seeing in that object is the only color reflecting off of it.

This action project, we had to create a pinhole camera and take pictures with it in a darkroom. I had to use a cardboard box, then had to paint it black inside then create a pinhole to create the camera effect. 

I am most proud of myself for learning such interesting things and understanding all of it in such a little time frame.The pinhole camera captures light through the tiny hole that I created with a tac. It allows the light to pass through, working like a lens and projecting an object on the other side. The pinhole doesn't use refraction, the bending of light or reflection, the reflection of light. Reflection is light bouncing objects, and refraction is light slowing down and changing angle from one medium to another. The inside of the camera is black because the color black absorbs light while white reflects. If it were white the light would reflect the image making the light bounce around consistently, not creating an image. The black is perfect because it absorbs light while keeping the light in. A Pinhole camera works like any camera and functions like an eye: the image is flipped so it comes out the right side up,it absorbs the light then the pupil gets bigger or smaller depending on how much light there is, then light is focused by lens then directed onto the retina that sends signals to optic nerve. The pinhole camera is similar but is a simpler version of that.

The image didn't come out that well, it shows the background but not the elements of the objects.This could've been because of my own errors, such as: letting light in beforehand, not thoroughly painting the entire box black and having the shutter speed be too short or too long.

To create my pinhole camera I had to select a box and paint the inside black. After i painted the entire box black, I got a piece of metal and created a tiny hole so light could pass through. After that I created a shutter that wouldn't allow light to go through to ruin my picture. Actually taking the image with the camera was pretty easy, I set up my picture by putting objects together,then placing my pinhole camera a few inches away. The shutter speed (how long the pinhole let light through without the shutter) was around 1 minute. Then I closed the pinhole and got the film processed and developed. My class visited the Latin School and talked to a photography teacher, there, she taught us how to use a darkroom. First, we set up the picture with some of the objects she had in a box. Then, I sat down my pinhole camera next to the object for a minute,after that I went into the darkroom to process the photo.

If I could redo this action project,I would make sure I painted the entire box black and had more time to take more pictures with my pinhole camera.

PRESENTING THE WONDERFUL, THE GREAT.... STORE IT CYCLE

In Design and Engineering this unit I learned about gear ratios, parts of a bicycle , potential energy, kinetic energy and calculating the surface area and volume of circles. The purpose of this action project is to create a bike that will benefit a certain user. I learned that bikes have gear settings that you can change depending on where you are biking. Mountain bikes are for riding on rocky roads and cruiser bikes are for leisure. For a homework assignment, I had to interview someone who biked often, and I chose to interview Kim Campos. I asked her if she could change anything about her bike what would it be, and she responded,"I would change the seat to be wider and cushioned for comfortability.” When designing a bike , I took this idea of making the seat wider into consideration. After finishing this project, I'm proud of how the bike came out. It‘s very sturdy and looks like an innovative design.

My user is a 15 year old girl named Malia, who travels 5 miles from her home to get to school.Malia's parents are going to buy her a bike because she works at the library and is going to have to do grocery shopping. She lives in Logan square and will ride on the 606 to get to school and when she gets home she will park her bike in the garage. Malia will need a bike that is comfortable, safe at night and can carry large books and grocery bags.

The Store It cycle is great and perfect for Malia because it provides comfortability,safety and storage.  I included 2 baskets, one on the back and one on the front. Both have buttons that make it close automatically and lock, which is good because our userneeds to carry books and groceries. I also included taillights and front lights in the middle of the handlebars, the front lights allow Malia to see where she is going at night, the taillights include turn signals allowing people to see her at night. Lastly, I added a wider and cushioned seat because she has to ride for a long time from school to library.She should believe in our design, because I created a design that would help and benefit her circumstances.She will gain potential energy as she is slowly riding up the hill on the 606, and when Malia rides down the hill that potential energy will transfer to kinetic because she is in motion.

Malia lives 5 miles away from school, she lives in Logan Square and travels on the 606. It takes around 30 minutes for her to get to school. To find how many miles a minute you do d/t, which is 5/30=.17 which is around 10 miles per hour. For our scale, we took the original sketch and converted that to 1inches=4inches. The wheel’s diameter is 26 inches, the radius is 13 inches and the circumference= 81.68 inches. The gear ratio is 26/12.

Rotations= distance/circumference

5/81.68=

614.455 rotations to get to school.

When trying to design a creative and innovative bike, I ran into some trouble. I overcame it by looking up different types of bikes and took the best ideas and tried to create a bike that combined off of those ideas. Sketching the idea was also difficult because it's challenging to draw something out rather than writing ideas down. I overcame this by continuing to draw out my design until the design was perfected. I built the finish product with cardboard and wooden stick by hot glueing the pieces together.


Below is a labeled sketch of the bike design:

Solving The World's Issues One Grippy Grabber At a Time

In Design and Engineering , our class learned about simple machines. We learned how to find volume, surface area and area of different shapes.The purpose of this action project is to create an ergonomic gardening tool for senior citizens because most tools aren’t fit for their weaker bodies. My customer in my mind is a senior citizen who needs to grab things when gardening or for everyday life, but cannot because of their weak bones and joints. By creating an ergonomic grabber, it will make their life easier. In class we also learned about empathy, which is putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand what they’re going through. When creating a tool for senior citizens, I must imagine myself as a senior to create something that I think would be best for them. Before creating our tool, we had to interview a gardener. My interviewee informed me about gardening. Some of the best advice she told me was, your hands are your best tools because it is the most consistent and easiest, that planting takes time and effort, and that before you plant you must plan. My partner's interviewee told him,”if I could make my own tool, I’d make a device that lessens work for the elderly when bending down and getting up. Something that moves and can elevate or descend.” We tried to take both of the gardeners’ advice and create a perfect tool that is easier for senior citizens to use. We also researched examples of other grabbers and noticed the main things that people change were how long it is, the type of lever, and how the claw open and closes. My partner and I took some of these ideas and created our own tool called the Grippy Grabber.

The Grippy Grabber is used to grab things that are far or unreachable. It grabs things with a clamp that opens and closes with a gradual switch. As you slide the switch the clamp closes at the same speed. This helps you choose how wide you want the clamp to open. The parts included are the switch, the extendable arm/pole inside, a button to press so the arm is able to extend, and the changeable slips and blades. We included the switch because senior citizens’ finger joints and muscles are weaker, and it is much easier to slide something instead of exerting force by holding down a lever. The extendable arm is to reach things that are further away and the button makes it easier to extend. The changeable slips and blades are for customers who want to grab all types of things, as only having one material(rubber) is limiting. The changeable blades are to get a better grip onto the object you are trying to pick up. The Grippy Grabber is a great tool because it uses an ergonomic switch that makes grabbing things easier and comfortable for everyone. It’s an example of a lever because when the senior citizen slides the switch the clamp closes. The Grippy Grabber includes using a fulcrum, a fulcrum is the point the lever is supported on. The persons hands are being used as a fulcrum in this case because the customer must support the Grippy Grabber when using.
