Student
I currently attend New Tech High School as a Juinior. New Tech is based on project learning that uses 21st century skills. We are graded on many different levels including content, critical thinking, written communication, and oral communication. All of our projects can be applied to real life and we have the advantage of being prepared for the real world. So far, I have maintained a 4.0 gpa my whole high school career. I do my very best and give 100% towards any challenges. Finishing a project makes me feel like I've accomplished a huge task, and that's why I enjoy being in New Tech. It pushes me to do the best I can do and it is a great program preparing me for college and the business world. This year I have also taken on the roll of being involved in NHS. NHS stands for National Honor Society. In NHS I mainly focus on good grades and helping my community.
MY SKILLS:
Technology
I am well educated in the area of computers. One program that I know a lot about is imovie. Below is my tutorial video for imovie! Being a part of New Tech has really influenced my knowledge for technology. Everything is project based and involves computers.
Math
Ever since elementary school, I have been placed in an advanced math level. I year I am taking a senior math class as a Junior. I am in pre-calc and will enroll into calculus next year. Math comes very easy for me, and it has helped me become more advanced in science.
Science
This year for science, I am in New Tech Physics. We are currently building a scale model sail boat which will be raced at the end of the semester. We were given the task to draw the blue prints in google sketch up and actually build the ship out of different materials. Next semester, we are going to work with students from the University of Michigan and build scale model rockets!
English
I am also enrolled in New Tech English. This year we are learning about greek mythology and cultural differences. Our latest project was to create a video game based on a certain mythology. We included characters from many different myths and generated our own original story. Below is an example of a keynote I made for english and our actual myth video game!
