About
An assignment that I did in Biology was the Current Event Presentation. For this, we had to pick out one of the current events we had done all quarter and create a presentation for said topic. We had to be able to make it so that the class understood it and present it nicely. For this presentation, I did a current event about an article I read titled “Machinery of Photosynthesis Supercharges Solar Energy to Hydrogen Fuel Conversion” and made a slideshow about it. My goal for this was to make the article easier to understand by breaking it down.
Why I Choose This and 21st Century Skill
I selected this work sample because of how interesting I found the article. It is about taking inspiration from photosynthesis and trying to use the sun as a power source and make it into fuel, which which is an insane concept.
The 21st-century skills that this project uses are Communication skills, through presenting the article in a slideshow, and Information skills, through doing the research it took to give a good explanation.
Growth
Current Growth
This project challenged me by trying to originally understand the article. When I first read it, I had to search many things up and become familiar with new things that I had no idea existed until now. This showcases my interests though the article and topic being related to engineering. I want to go to school for a type of engineering, so that is one of the reasons that I found this article so interesting.
New Ways To Grow
I would like to improve upon this by organizing the information a bit better as well as spacing out the slides better than I originally did. I put the text in big blocks and it made it look a bit overwhelming, so I would like to space it out better. I would also like to go though and revise some of my sentences, as I did a lot of it late at night, so it was harder for me to revise things so they looked correct.
