Getting One Step Closer to Curing Color Blind Eye Deficiency #1

1. 20% Time is the amount of time we have to work on the project (Mondays).

2. The essential question that I have asked for the 20 Time Project is, What can lead closer to curing color blindness?

3. For my project I have chosen to research further into making contacts that will help partially cure color blindness and with that, these contacts will help lead to the cure for color blind eye deficiency. I chose this topic because helping others interests me and making technology is one of my passions. My project answers my essential question because the answer is by making a laser-inserted contact.

4. My goals are to find the perfect type of lens for the technology needed to make this assistive device, and to make a good presentation.

5. I will measure my progress by keeping up with this daily blog and adding new things into the presentation that I have just researched.

6. My plan is to make this presentation about my project to help contribute to my Ted Talk that will be produced later on in the school year.

7. I am writing this to help spread out that the technology we have today can help along the road to make a full cure of color blindness. With that, the contacts that I would like to make will replace EnChroma's glasses for the moment.

Unit 7 Reflection

       Unit 7 was about ecology and how to keep our ecosystem the most healthy. Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment, with that there are many factors that decreases the health of our planet/ecosystem. Many of these factors can be resolved and with the help of other people, making our ecosystem healthy as it once was, can be possible. The most essential part of this unit is learning about biotic and abiotic factors & using that information to help keep an equilibrium.
       I want to learn more about what we can do to decrease the use of plastic and wasting our fossil fuels since they can only be used once. For the moment, all my questions have been answered with the help of discussing the problem with plastic after watching the movie, Bag It. I wonder about our future, will it be different from the present or will it change completely.
      On our Conservation Biologist Project, everyone in my group was excellent and always on task. Our skills throughout making the slideshow met all the requirements on our contract. I learned a lot through the project and now I have more respect for our ecosystem, especially the Amazon Rainforest. After taking the self assessment, my highest score was being assertive and I believe I was an excellent collaborator with my teammates and I have to say the same for them. This concludes my Unit 7 Reflection.
