Blog 3/24

The goal of our 20 time project is to get kids out of their house and off their phones and show them something we really enjoy doing outside. We've gathered a lot of useful information from articles based on the criteria for our project, since the brainstorming of our project we have had to find a better solution for our camera situation, both of our generic go-pro's weren't up to the standard we have for this project, so we decided to put some money into our project and buy a better go pro. We have also bought a lot of fishing supplies in preparation of our project. Our goal is to show people how to do a 20 time project and show them what we enjoy doing for fun in our free time. We haven't really changed our views for this project, probably because we knew from the beginning what we wanted to do and what had to be done in order to execute our plans. We plan on starting the project once the water heats up a little more, so the weather has kind of gotten in the way of our project, but it's making us more excited to get started.

20 Time Project

For my 20 time proposal, I'll be working with my Friend Garrett Kubovec to teach the class how and where to fish in Cedar Rapids. A lot of the feedback we got was mostly negative, people didn't think we could actually make this into a project. We have come up with a lot of great ideas to help with our research such as the air and water temperatures and the current in the water. We'll be documenting our excursions on Garrett's gopro and boat. So far we have struggled to figure out who our mentor will be but we've have asked around for peoples input and it has helped with our search. We have done a really good job at finding ways to help teach the class when we present, we've thought of a lot of good information that will be very useful in their learning. We haven't asked other students if they think the information we want to put in will actually help, but I plan on doing it before we finalize our plans. Next week during 20 time I would like to show students in our class the plans we've come up with and get their feedback so we'll know if we're teaching them in the best possible way.
