This year I was really excited about doing Big Picture for multiple reasons. Some of these include the fact that we could design our own projects each quarter which is called an “independent project.” I was excited about these because it could be a project that was interesting to me. And another thing was the whole internship thing. But besides all that I also liked the fact of creating your own curriculum for each quarter.
For the first quarter, I unfortunately didn’t get to do an independent project. I was kind of bummed out by that fact and how we were given required work for the quarter. But for the second quarter I at first decided to make a gingerbread boat. But when it came out it wasn’t as amazing as I thought it would turn out.
So Instead I changed my project to doing a video series on YouTube, and filmed myself instructing how to make simple dishes. I then posted these videos on YouTube. I made about three different videos making different dishes. I just got the dish ideas from what I had at the time to cook. The next project I decided to do was my 3rd quarter Independent Project. I got an idea from this Web site were these guys were taking aerial photography from near space and they made it seem very simple. So it seemed like a project that I could do, so I decided to get a partner and take this project on. It’s been going good so far and I only have to get 100 more dollars towards it and then I can finally launch it.
