Hi! this is Haley, Anna, and Toby with a week 7 update. This week my team and I presented at our schools community forum! it was a lot of fun to explain and show our project to our peers and adults. We had our teams poster with two iPads, one had our blog page on it and the other had photos which people could flip thru. We also had an interactive element that consists of our milkweed kits and seed bombs which we gave away to anyone that’s was interested. in the beginning, when explaining our solution to people all of us talking at the same time was kinda confusing but by the middle we had a system figured out to all have equal talking time and a clear explanation of our project. overall the community forum was super fun and interesting, and I especially enjoyed seeing my peers projects!

Hello! This is Toby, Haley, and Anna with a week 6 update on how our project is going. Last week we finished making our seed bomb kits, and then on Sunday we gave them out at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. We made people aware of how the monarch butterflies need their help to get more milkweed into the world. The data that we got showed us that most of the people we gave the milkweed seed bomb kits too thought our presentation was good and taught them how the monarch butterflies need help. One thing we could have done better was to give the milkweed seed bombs out to people earlier so that we could get more information about the growth of the plants. Since we gave them out a little bit too late, we didn’t get the maximum amount of growth data we could have gotten. Posted by: Haley Hansen
Hi! we are Haley, Anna, and Toby with our week five update! we have narrowed down our solution to making milkweed seed bomb kits. They consist of a a drawstring pouch with two seed bombs inside a information card telling the user about the decrease in milkweed with an additional butterfly charm. I contacted a local farmers market and got some table space this Sunday to hand out are seed bombs and inform people about the decline in milkweed. We will have a clipboard to get the information of the people who get our kits to see how well our solution worked. Our team is super excited for this weekend and all worked together to come up and implement our idea and help the monarch! Posted by: Anna Perttula
Hello! We are Anna, Toby, and Haley with our week 4 update. This week we have discovered that there are only three more weeks until the project has to be due! We are tight on time so we created a timeline of what we need to do and by when in order for us to successfully execute our plan. Last week we got feedback from peers and faculty members. This week we are focusing on implementing the improvements into our project. The first thing on our timeline is to give out seed bombs at Mar Vista Gardens and Santa Monica Farmers Market. On Thursday we bought the milkweed seed bombs and we are excited to sell them! We are also hoping to plant milkweed in community gardens. Next week we are going to do those two things. We are really excited to get our hands dirty and save the monarchs one milkweed at a time! |
