Things at a Showcase

Our class has the opportunity to participate in a showcase featuring our Bracelet project along side the other Entrepreneurial Adventures. The problem is that only 12 students can go due to space at the venue. Our class decided it would be best to identify the criteria important for the people who go. Anyone in the class can then put their names into the hat if they would like the chance to go and represent us. Here is our criteria.

Criteria for Representing the Class at the Entrepreneurial Adventure Showcase

Worked hard on the project in and out of class time.

Comfortable speaking about the project to strangers.

Know the project well. Understand what we did and why we did it.

Should not be behind in any work.

Should be ok with the fact that this is not a social break. This is work.

Things That Give Back

I know Kelly wrote a great post about The Bracelet but I just wanted to add on how proud I was of all of you. You did a spectacular job and should hold your heads high. Awesome Sauce.

Things That Happen On Sunny Days

What a great sunny Friday!
Today we started by getting to know "Show Me" the app. We are using it to show what we learned in the Super Bear question.

Things That are Chewy and Big

 

          This week we have have been working on the Super-bear question. Watch the video!
The question is: How many mini-bears can you fit in a super-bear? How many regular-bears can you fit in a super bear?

Here is our answers and the work leading up to the answer
                                       Estimates
Mini-bear: Too high: 2500                                             Regular-bear: Too high: 2001
Mini-bear: Too low: 424                                                Regular-bear: Too low: 100
Mini-bear: In the middle: 1303                                      Regular-bear: In the middle: 550


                                                     Weight of the Bears
10 mini-bears = 12.1g         12.1g/10 = 1.21g         1 mini-bear = 1.21 g
10 regular-bears = 23.1g      23.1g/10 = 2.31g        1 regular-bear = 2.31g
1 super-bear = 2250g

                                         How many mini-bears can fit into a super-bear?
mini-bear: 2250/1.21 = 1859.504 
You could fit 1859 mini-bears into 1 super-bear.
                                        How many regular-bears can fit into a super-bear?
regular-bear: 2250/2.31= 974.025
Yoou could fit 974.025 regular-bears into 1 super-bear.

Things We Do

On Monday I went to a international celebration of WE called We Day. We Day is a world wide celebration of everything good, happy, and awesome for confidence! There are a lot of celebrities who are inspired and interested by We Day like Shawn Desman, My Name is Kay, and Martin Sheen. There are also other inspirational people who gave speeches at We Day. For example there was Molly Burke who is blind and was bullied when she was 14, Frank O'Dea, founder of Second Cup who was raised in the streets but become a very successful man, Spencer West, who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro without legs, and many others. 

If there are two words that I would use to describe EVERYONE at We Day, it would be loud and proud. Proud that you can't buy a ticket for We day, you earn it out of hard work and once you're there, your life is changed by all of the amazing people with even more amazing stories. Loud because you're excited to be there. 

It's a fun and thrilling experience to be in a room full of people who care about others just like you do. If I was to ever get the chance to go to We day again, I would not hesitate to say yes.

Things In Space

Today our class had Scientists in School. We learned about planets, stars, gravity, and space in general. Some of us put on a little skit! We also had a race of where the planets go on a large black bristol board. We made our own comet out of dirt, water, burnt toast, windex, and dry ice! It was so cool! Here are some cool photos of the fun that we had!
