Economics is the production, distribution, and consumption of resources between multiple groups of people. It studies how people interact with goods and services. Not only does it study people, but it focuses on the behavior of businesses, governments, and even nations. The book  Doughnut Economics , by Kate Raworth, was at the center of our Econ: Risking Value course. In the book, Kate Raworth shares her views on the world of economics and how it can be improved. She maps her ideas in a diagram shaped like a donut. These ideas relate to how economics can be used to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. The main cause of our financial problems derive from choosing economic growth over everything else. For this action project, I share my economic principle that would help solve current and important issues impacting our world today, such as climate change.  I hope you enjoy! ____ My economic principle is modeled after William Nordhaus' "spaceship ...

Welcome to my final AP for Computer Science. For this action project, I had to make a chatbot. A chatbot is a bot that has responses that it says based on what you say. To build this chatbot, I had to use the power of "if" statements, which we were taught in class. "If" statements are a type of code that can have things run under certain conditions. The chatbot I made is called Henry. The story is that his only purpose is to make people feel less lonely when they talk to him. However, Henry is actually more intelligent than you think he is and has an evil plan up his sleeve. I hope you enjoy! I had a lot of fun making this chatbot. As you might have seen though, at the end of the script where it takes all of your answers to determine the ending you get, only the first two work. I tried many things to fix it, but it the rest still won't work for some reason. I was running out of time, so I painfully decided to leave it there. However, it did fulfil a lot of the r...

We all think about it. We all hope we get the answer right. Searching for the meaning of life isn’t easy. Answers vary from person to person. Whether they be simple or complicated, each of these meanings are unique and valid. In this unit of Journalism, we delved into the world of photojournalism. Photojournalism is a form of storytelling using photography. Photojournalists use their cameras to capture the essence of a story. Photojournalism allows you to see, rather than imagine, what is being reported. It brings you into the center of the action, space, or emotion. You might not have noticed, but pictures are a big deal. You see them in articles, newspapers, and television programs. Cherished memories pop up on our home screens. Instagram revolves around visual images that draw us into people’s worlds. Pictures are everywhere and each one tells a story. Normally, at least for me, I click on articles with engaging cover photos. They make me want to know more. Now, imagine a news artic...
