We created an infographic where we show the main characteristics of the disease, symptoms and preventions with graphics.

We created a radio show where we discussed our disease, HIV, we talked about the main characteristics and preventions.

We also created three radio ads where we mentioned statistics, symptoms, preventions etc.

We created a stop-motion video mentioning the function of the system and how the disease affects the system, we made an interview to a specialist in our disease to help us understand it better, and we created a video ad that shows a new cure for the disease.

With this project I have learned that being inform it's really important and in this stage that we are passing through being teenagers we don't know the risks that every decision we make imply. Also, team work is the main thing that we need for us to be able to hand in a good work and for all of us to deserve the grade that we have achieve. My team mates did a great job and we successfully finish this projects throughout the year, I am thankful for being part of this team. In the computer section, I have learned the importance of knowing all the technology we have and to be able to use all the different variables that are at our disposal. I learned not only that we have different variables but that we also combine them and make a great project. Every project that we achieve and made had its own lesson for us and it made us be able to pass every challenge that was thrown at us. It was a very interactive project and it exploded our imagination for our best interest. In conclusion I enjoyed this project and I hope everything that I have learned throughout this semester being science and creativity and design could be implemented and useful for the rest of our lives.

In this project I learned how to manage our times in teams since we do not have the same class hours. We learned how to do a project that complies with the requirements of two different subjects. We had to comply with the infographic where we had to include a lot of information in a very visual way. We created a podcast with the format of a radio show to inform people in a fun way about the dangers and preventions of our disease, HIV. In the radio ads we saw how there are many different ways to inform the public about something and how it is our job to make it entertaining in order for them to apply it to their daily lives. For the videos we had to shoot many different angles to make a dynamic video. With this projects we can see how important it is to know how to use different aspects of technology. We had to be very creative when it came to presenting information since we had to do it in a way that the reader didn't get bored at the same time that we complied with all the requirements. It was also hard to coordinate with our teammates in other classrooms because the teachers requested different requirements and deadlines, also we had different class times and some formats are very difficult to share constantly in order for all of us to work separately.

Through out the semester, I learned a lot about how to use technology in a simple but ingenuos way. Never the less, I should talk about the project. This project was basically about letting people know throughout different technological tools about HIV. Creating a video, making an interview and designing an infographic didn't only make me learn about this dangerous disease. But i t made me realize how difficult it is to transmit information and make it look simple, make it fast and in a catchy way. We learned how to use our creativity while making the video, to transmit information easy and fast. We also learned that pictures have to be taken in the same position and that is such a task. While creating the infographic, we learned how to transmit information with different pictures a with few words, as well as organising the information and make it look as if its few. The video, made us learn how sound is really important, you need to be somewhere special to have the best sound possible, also, we learned how to place background music that will make you desire to keep on watching the video, and how to create a catchy video to trasmit the more information you can. In conclusion, i can say that this was a very effective project since it gave me a lot to learn and tools that i can use in the future.

I personally learned a lot with this project. Mainly I learned about science but I also learned a lot about computer and technology and all that stuff. It was a very interesting project. Even though I find it hard to see the connection between diseases in a system and computers, but back to the point, to be able to do this project a whole lot of information had to be researched.

As I was saying I learned a lot due to the research, we needed to know all about shots and angles also a whole lot about lighting and infographics in order to have good aesthetics. It’s a bit hard considering I don’t understand technology that much but it helped me develop my technology abilities. The infographic heped me distinguish how colors would look better and I had to be very original while making it. The ads taught me how radio ads are made and how the music and sound effects take a very big role in them. It also thaught me a lot about the disease and how to prevent it due to the researching we had to do.

I like this project, it was interesting learing about a disease and how science and tech may mix to do lots of things. It was a bit hard I’ll admit, mixing it is not an easy task and much less for the grading the teachers had to do since they were focusing on different aspects. I didn’t like the fact we had to do it with our science teams which are not in our computers class which is the one class wework in the project. But overall it was an interesting project.
