Capstone is FINALLY finished....

What was most successful about your capstone?
I feel like my technology part looked pretty good. When it all came together, my judge was impressed because it simplified a complex idea.

What could have made it better?
I feel that if we didn't have capstone at all, it would make it better :)

Write a story from your time at RCHS.
One time me and a couple of my friends were on our way to get food off campus. Then all of a sudden, my tire blows out. I tried slowly driving to the nearest gas station. Once we arrived, we realized we didn't have a jack to change the tire to the spare. So after a thousand calls to all of our friends, we finally got a hold of somebody. The only problem was, she didn't have a jack either. So she runs all over Kiowa trying to find someone with a jack. Once we finally found our "hero", he came and helped change the tire. After we were all done, a black guy came out of no where and asked for money. After we told him that we didn't have anything, he offered to give us a kiss for it. Then he tries kissing my friend and he quickly pushes him away. Then the black guy walks off. We try to see where he goes but we can't find him anyway. We finally realized that my friend just attracts guys.

Beginning to think about overall project

I'm not really sure what I want to use as my media. I think a website would be a good asset if I am able to pull it off. I am going to need 3D models as well (whether they are physical or on the computer I still don't know). A video would also be really good (this could be on my website)...and although my movie trailer is not informational, I believe it would be a good ice breaker for the judges. Although I know that this presentation is supposed to be serious, it is always good to start it off with a laugh (even if it is laughing at my lame video). I also feel like this is acceptable because I will have a ton of REAL info on my actual project that it will compensate for the humor of my trailer.


Now when it comes to a timeline.....I was thinking I could:

In February- Figure out what I want my project to consist of. Whether it is a website or video, I want to   figure out how I want it to kind of be set up.

In March- Start working on my actual presentation. Have everything finished by the end of the month.

In April- Have my actual presentation down. Know everything and anything about how it all will run.

Critique over Home Page

Most people said that the colors needed to contrast more. I kind of changed the pollution smoke color at the top, but more changes can be made. Also, they said to differentiate the pages from each other by maybe making a little cloud behind each tab I am on or something.

Home Page of Website so far.....

If I had unlimited resources....

Pertaining to my project:
I would put my project into effect. I understand that generating enough electricity to separate water into it's elements would require a lot of resources, especially at such a grand scale. So I would set up tons of methods to obtain green electricity and use that to generate the electric flow I need.

Pertaining to my project with resources I already have:
Honestly, I probably would never be able to put my project into effect with what I have now. I may be able to show a model, or perhaps show the process of electrolysis, but it would most likely just be that.

Personal one:
I would make a playground for adults.

Phrase to describe project

Burn your coal and it will get us all!
