This project was inspired about finding out about Day Zero- a campaign in South Africa designed to find solutions to their water shortage problem. The fact that they were successful in avoiding 'day zero' got me motivated to learn about other solutions to environmental issues. This project was important to me because I've always cared about environmental issues.
How has clean water shaped the modern world? Few inventions have shaped the modern world as much as clean water. We rely on clean water for our daily lives. Yet, we rarely ask ourselves how clean water came to be? How did it change the very face of our world? Have we finally solved clean water? And what role has it played in the medical field? The goal of the project was to answer that.
Jewelry making has always interested me. Over the last year I have been collecting tools and honing my crafting skills to the point where I have so many unique pairs of earrings and necklaces that I didn’t know what to do with them all. I decided to learn how to build a business, how to make it profitable enough to support itself, and how to do all of this in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly manner. Today I have GrayMoonArts, the culmination of months of curating my collection and learning photography skills and building a website from nothing.
I wrote a paper about the history and evolution of human rights. It starts with the Magna Carta and goes until now. I chose to do this project for many reasons, mainly because I want to pursue a career in human rights in the future.
This is my presentation for my Environmental Impact Project. I wanted to share about why and how our planet is warming and what we as a community can do to help.
There are lots of roads to take when relating to film making as a career. I explored different mediums of film I haven't tried. I also tried different writing styles ending with one final film as my deliverable. I worked with the concept of a unique view of things, making everything a story. I hope to see this be an example of my work to kick start my career in film. I want to find a path that suits me well and I get to make things I am proud of in the end. I want people to know the name "Keys".
This project began with my desire to change our state flag. The current flag is problematic because it contains racist imagery, is nearly identical to half of the US state flags and because visually it is unappealing. I created a new flag after research into design principals and into emblematic images of Minnesota. In this new flag, the blue represents the lakes and rivers of Minnesota, the green represents the forests and nature, the white represents the cold and snow of the state, and the star is the state's motto, which is "L'Etoile du Nord" which is French for "the North Star"

What gets featured: student work that engages a real audience or solves a real problem, that students themselves can speak to and defend, and that maps to one of the seven principles.
MLCN member schools and other Minnesota schools doing student-centered work are both welcome to submit — we feature what fits.
