Rough Draft

This week I finally found an experimental location near Southwest High School. This location I thought would be a good start becasue the area is kind of poor.

Then I made an actual layout in sketch up placing the playground, garden area, parking lot and picnic area. I have all the dimensions taken and trying out different textures. The garden area is similar to a pit with large steps leading into it that could act as a seating area as well.

Now all I have to do is add the actual playground and quality people look for in a park. Also include landscaping such as vegetation (trees, plants, and grass) and outdoor furnitute (benches, tables, light fictures, etc.).

The Next Step

Starting on Wednesday I started looking for an ideal location around the world that could be used for my project. In Sketch Up there a way to place the project using Google Earth. The only problem is I'm being picky with the location and need to get over it so I don't fall behind like I did on the paper.

My plan is to brainstorm product ideas then by spring break I will be able to create the physical product. Currently the idea of shirts and possibly bumper stickers have been thought of with more to be thought about.

Using the next week and a half to two weeks to design and create the park/playground. Then from there I'll start on the website.

Still Dislike Writing

So I'm still behind on my paper but more has been added since last week. On my way into 5th period Ms. Caspers asked when I was going come talk to her, so I told her after-school. This probably won't be a meeting more like a chance to simply talk and schedule a meeting.
This week when I was researching poverty I learned about 22,000 children die each year from neglect in most small villages. Depressing! Apart from that I've gather more information about poverty that should help me write the rest of my paper (hopefully).
