Edcamp Reflection #2

On Thursday, 12/9/18, we had another Edcamp presentation. An Edcamp presentation is when parents come to the school to tell you about their careers and what they do. This time I chose my first one on renewable energy, and I chose my second one on real estate investment. For the first one, it was Andre’s dad talking. He showed us what renewable energy was, and what were, and what weren’t renewable energy. Then he told us what he did for his career. He also brought some small models of renewable energy sources. Wind turbines, solar panels, all of that stuff. He also showed us a few videos on renewable energy. For the second presentation, it was Eli’s dad talking. First he told us what real estate was and what investing was. Then he made up three places and gave statistics about each of them. Then he told us which one you should invest in. Overall, I think that these Edcamp presentations were really interesting and I think I learned a lot.

Edcamp Reflection

On Wednesday, 11/28/18, we had an Edcamp presentation. A few moms came and told us about what they did. There were a few presentations at 10:15, and there was another at 11:15. You could only choose one for each time. I chose a interior design one and a magazine one.

The first one was interior design. The presentation was by Chase Kantor’s mom. It was pretty interesting. She told us about haw she started her own business, Tara Kantor Interiors. Then she showed us how being an interior designer worked. Then she picked a girl and a boy to demonstrate. then we got some paper and fabrics to plan a bedroom that we would like. I really liked it.

For my second choice, my mom was the presenter (since she used to work for a magazine company). She showed us how magazines are made. Then she took out two magazines as examples. She told us some more about magazines. Then we got to ask questions. After the questions, we brain stormed ideas of a Heathcote magazine. The theme colors, the text, all of that stuff. I think my mom’s presentation was really good.

Overall, I think it was a great experience.
