In most of my classes, my group and I have created a climate change website that focused on our solutions that would reduce the CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere.
Here's my exhibition video -
Reflection
While doing this assignment we were able to overcome a lot of our many goals on our renewable solar and batteries website. We had the opportunity to work and speak with a professional who worked in the field along with completing an abundance of goals which included creating a letter to the Earth and posters. My group and I all contributed the same amount of work towards this project which was extremely helpful considering the loads of effort we had to carry out.
Throughout the process, I realized how big of an effect climate change has on our Earth and ways we can help our planet against the Co2 in the atmosphere. One of those solutions being renewable solar and batteries since they are environmental friendly and will reduce electricity generated from fossil fuels by around 1 kilowatt-hour. Though there are multiple solutions to help with climate change which my group and I discussed throughout the planning of this project.
During the first few days my group and I struggled with staying focused on our project. We would drift off into other discussions and not focus ourselves fully on our assignments. Then, during the last few days we got it together and were able to make way more progress than we did in the beginning. So in the future, I would definitely hope to develop better communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.
As for the 21st century skills I learned throughout the project, those would have to be thinking and problem solving skills, global awareness, civic literacy and engagement, and lastly financial, economic, and business literacy skills. In my opinion, I believe I was able to use my ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to find solutions. Mostly, I became way more global aware to activity around the world and I increased my environmental boundaries. Which my group and I represented throughly in our climate change website.
Overall, this was a fantastic project to work on throughout the week. It really changed my outlook on climate change and helped me notice that it is a real problem that we continue to face everyday. My group and I are planning to continue working on our project and keep in touch with the professional we reached out to. We have even scheduled some upcoming plans in the future that relate to renewable solar and batteries.
