This is my 2nd Action Project for my elective course, RPG. In this course we will be studying about 3D printers. In order to complete this project, I had to studied about 3D printer and know to to use them. I also learned how to fix it if it gets jammed. For this Action Project the class choose do print chess peaces. We had to make a power point that showed the process of making them, a venn diagram, and a lot of other things. The thing that I am most proud of was making the PowerPoint and finding the research. Something that was hard for me was looking for a making the cardboard version of the king chess peace. Please learn more about the chess project down below.

Like an Animal
This is my 2nd Action Project for my elective course, Biomimicry. In this course we will be studying about animals and their habitats. In order to complete this project, I had to studied about animals and what they do in their habitat. I also learned how overall an animal can survive in the wild by maybe hiding in the trees. For this Action Project I chose my two animals to be a ape and an eagle. We had to make a power point that showed the design of two animals to have some of the same things in them in a house. The thing that I am most proud of was making the PowerPoint and finding the research. Something that was hard for me was looking for a picture of the animals and drawing them. Please learn more about the my two animals and my house design down below.

PLANTS AND HUMANS
This is my first Action Project for my elective course, Biomimicry. In this course we will be studying nature and how it relates to humans. In order to complete this project, I had to studied plants and its habitats. I also learned how overall the plant can solve a problem that is in the world and how the plant will fix it. For this Action Project I chose my plant to be a Giant Dioon and the problem that I wanted it to solve was to create warmth and cold without using energy. We had to make a power point that showed the plant's name, its characteristics, and a design that I made. The thing that I did really well was making the power point and finding the research. Something that was for me was looking for a picture of the plant and drawing it. I am proud of how my power point turned out. Please learn more about the plant I chose and my design down below.
TWO LETTERS
This is my first Action Project for my elective course, Rapid Prototyping. In this course we will be studying electronic machines. In order to complete this project, I had to use a Camio and do it by hand cut the paper. I also learned how overall the which is better by machine or hand. For this Action Project I chose to do by hand first since it would be the hardest. My two letters are a and F. We had to make a power point that showed the what letters we did how we did it and compare both of them. The thing that I did really well was making the power point and finding the research. Something that was for me was spray painting the a because it was windy out side. I am proud of how my power point turned out. Please learn more about the plant I chose and my design down below.

Kansas
This course is Water or H2O, the project is making a a power point about a city we had to choose. The thing that I did really well is making the power point and finding the research. Something that is did wrong was looking at the wrong places for my research. Something I am proud of this my whole power point.
Boxing
For my project for self-defense we were studying boxing. For my part I am going to do boxing. The purpose of this video was to teach people one of the thing that we learned and the students will be the teachers. The video was two parts blocking and punching. I learned that by using these I can protect my self and I know know if someone will attacked me or not. The part of this project that was the most challenging getting the blocking down perfectly. The thing I am most proud of is the whole video.
HIV/AIDS
For my project for MDGs we were studying about the MDGs 6-8. I wrote my essay on MDG 6, which is to combat HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this essay was to influence someone to take action about HIV. I learned that HIV cannot be passed on by touching someone, but is passed on by unsafe sex. The part of this project that was the most challenging was trying to find examples of a country doing well with HIV. Uganda was having a big problem, but has found a way to improve. The thing I am most proud of is my picture and whom I chose to draw. The part that I loved about this is trying to find ways to spread the word for preventing HIV. The thing that was most interesting to me was that young men are the highest percent of people who are HIV positive. I learned that many people and countries are trying to cope with HIV I also learned that a lot of countries won’t even talk about people having HIV/AIDS and they won’t allow their country to have an open discussion because they are scared.
“When the millennium development goals (MDGs) were devised, AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis killed approximately 6 million people each year. World leaders felt it was imperative to have a goal dedicated to tackling this deadly trio” (Kironde). This means that every year 6 million people die from a disease. Some people are afraid to undergo medical tests especially when they know they are at risk of HIV. An examination of spirituality, acceptance and emotional support from the family and relatives will help them overcome this fear. How is HIV spread throughout the world?
When it was 1981 a very recognized syndrome was created. Many people think that HIV can get passed to people by touching them but it can’t. “Since its discovery, AIDS has caused an estimated 36 million deaths worldwide. In 2013 it resulted in about 1.34 million deaths.” This means that since the thing was created over 36 million people died worldwide of a disease. “HIV/AIDS has had a great impact on society, both as an illness and as a source of discrimination.” Even since HIV and or AIDS was founded it impacted society because it was a disease.
Uganda is doing really well with the disease. “Traditionally the government, supported by its international partners as well as local non-government organizations and the community has borne the brunt of the costs of containing the epidemic in Uganda.” This means that the government and the non-government both supported the costs of containing the epidemic in Uganda. In South Africa, AIDS is a great problem. South Africa is developing its options to tackle HIV/Aids over next 20 years. HIV/AIDS has had devastating impacts in many other countries, Uganda in particular. However, Uganda is depicted as one of the most successful countries in fighting HIV/AIDS. “Uganda's success story is attributed to the open general environment which allows open discussions surrounding HIV/AIDS when other countries, such as South Africa and Kenya, denied the existence of the disease in their countries.” (Result). This means that the country made a decision that they want to talk about it. In Uganda they built social capital, this means building the community with conversations. They had people in the community and all of the non profits talk to each other about their experiences with AIDS. They reduced being promiscuous and wife sharing by 90%. This should help reduce HIV. These safe sex techniques in Uganda are important because “The HIV/AIDS epidemic is likely to remain the pre-eminent global health concern for the foreseeable future.” This means that the diseases are still going to be a trouble in the future.
Perhaps we can learn from Uganda in the US. The Uganda model showed us that open discussion works. Young men are the highest percent the group in the growing in the US, But young women are most likely to become HIV positive when there is unsafe sex. We need to apply the model of open discussion with schools, friends and families. In Uganda all of the police, judges, medical professionals, non profits, all professionals helping with AIDS talked together and held community meetings with families. Individuals can take action by being nice to the people who have HIV and by having meetings where everyone learns how not to pass HIV. While we try to find a cure we can help people know about the disease. One way to help is to be open with education and prevention on social medias. People talk about this and can help each other find ways to prevent the spread of the disease not only in schools but in discussions about safe sex with their families and in the community. They can find a cure but that might not happen in time for young people today, so young people need to know how to be safe. Young people and their friends and family could also read more about HIV and have open discussions. In the US we talk about this in schools, but we need the community to agree to involve everyone, the family, the government and other organizations, All political parties have to agree to do these discussions. More education in schools, community campaigns, social media and media posters can go a long way to helping everyone learn to prevent the sharing of HIV between young people.
How can you help to prevent and find a cure for HIV? The progress that was made is that now we can help people continue to receive support and be friends with their old friends since they have HIV. People think that it can get passed by touching a person but that is not the case and everyone needs to learn how the disease is spread and how to prevent the spread. It is spread by having unsafe sex. I hope this is not true, but if there is no cure for this in my lifetime, we have to learn to prevent, be kind and have all friends and family members support those with HIV. We must help the people who have it and we must try to stop other young people from getting it. HIV cheats young people out of family, friends, jobs and joining their community.
