Follow up interveiw with Jamie, Otto, and Koji

We are doing a follow up interview to Jamie, Otto, and Koji on their DIY laptop project. If you want to read our first interview with them scroll down!

How is the project going?

Very slow. Our raspberry pi was having issues so they had to send it back to company.

What is your plan for the future?

Get a new raspberry pi and try again.

Sorry for how short this interview. More to come!

Gardening in the springtime!

Our class has taken out a plot at Wasatch Community Gardens and we have a small window garden. Currently we have planted carrots, turnips, beets, and lettuce. The garden started as a run-down plot with old plastic and tubing, but with about 2 hours of work and we had a beautiful garden plot! (pictures to come) Ms LeGate has some extra news papers and we made little paper pots for our window garden. We will plant the paper pots in our plot when they grow large enough. We used news paper because it's biodegradable.

More to come!

Sexism interveiw with Leah and Abbey!

After the success of our first interview, we have decided to continue and have set up a series of interviews with all the different projects. To start off, we have an interview with two girls who have set up a questionnaire about sexism. Below are the questions. Q: What is this project? A: Um, we are making a zine about sexism and interviewing people about what they think. Q: Why did you want to start this project? A: Lots of people have been sexist towards us and we want them to know we care and that is should stop. Q: Have all the interviews been similar to what you think? A: Well, we are asking questions like, has sexism ever made you stop being friends with someone or changed you? Q: What kind of things have happened to you that you think are sexist? A: People are amazed we play video games or one time my brother told me, your a girl go make me lunch! Q: Who inspired you to do this project? A: We were kind of thinking one day about it and decided that we wanted to share ideas together. Q: Do you think people are sexist towards boys? A: I think that it is a little different but yes. Q: What kind of things have shocked you that you have learned in the interviews? A: Just, some people are wildly inappropriate and make you think, why would you ever do that. Q: Any last things you want to tell the world? A: Nope. Well thats a wrap for today. Thanks for reading our blog and I hope it makes you think. Make sure to follow us!
