Everyday you learn something new. In my STEM class we are doing a unit on problem solving. We have to do a project to attempt to solve a problem of our choosing. My partner and I came up with the problem of having a low level of media arts at our school. We decided as our solution to have a media arts contest. So far we are working on doing the cost of admission and prize. At first we were thinking of doing Ipods but if we don't make enough money from admission then we cant pay ourselves back.My only solution is to try doing a pot. We also have to start advertising to actually get it going. I don't really know a lot of kids at our school know what media arts even is.

Everyday you learn something new. A few days ago I found out that I needed to start fundraising for the field trip for New York in the summer. I thoght of a few ways like reselling on sale candy or doing a Salvation Army like fundraiser in front of buisneses. It might be a good way to learn about economics as well as all the things Ill learn on the trip. I was at the mall yesterday and found this.

It was 30$ at the store. They might make nice Christmas gifts for people. I could actually make them for around 5$ each and sell them for 15$. It would probably work to some extent. I like how people can turn something so simple into a creative piece of art. There are all kinds of simple creations and simple yet amazing artwork out there.
