Week 10...Last week but the adventure is just getting started. I just wanted to start off by thanking everyone who is following this blog for sticking with my work and bearing with my obscure posts that probably didn't make much sense (or at least in the first few weeks). I also wanted to thank BlocPower for the tremendous opportunity in allowing me to work as a technology intern for the two and a half month period that I was there, allowing me to learn code, SEO optimization, and crowdfunding mechanisms I would otherwise not have been able to explore.
Anyways onto what I did this week. So this week I submitted my presentation to my faculty advisor, Mr. Covalciuc, and received some feedback for that. I will submit to you, the audience, what I gave to him at the bottom if you would like to check it out. It is still in the works and may not make much sense but I hope when I present on it that might clear things up a bit (ps as a side note please, if you are so inclined, just look it over and give any thoughts you guys have just so I get some more eyes on it and make sure it’s not completely awful :)).
And if you all are interested in what I did for my last week at BlocPower here it is. This week I setup basic page functionalities for the wiki. I created screen captures also (which are just videos people can create by recording their screen) for the engineering, finance, and technology team so that now that I am gone, at least there is some sort of resource there for people needing the wiki to refer to.
Beyond, finishing up work at BlocPower, I also created some notes for each slide for the Powerpoint and really tried to narrow down what was important and what wasn’t. I came to the conclusion that in answering the central question, how do gardens improve STEM-based education in urban schools, I also looked at other important factors like the current state of STEM-related subjects in inner-city schools and how gardens can (or can't be) successfully implemented into that curriculum.
Anyway I don't want to give too much away so here is that Powerpoint as a reference. I hope you all enjoy your weekend and I look forward to giving my final update soon.
