information fluency (field hockey)

Field hockey was invented in 1872 by James Creighton and has been an Olympic event since 1908. In 1980 women’s field hockey was added to the Olympics.  Field hockey is not very much how people interpret it. All the equipment is different, they use a ball and not a puck, the goalie padding is completely different, the nets are bigger, and many more features are completely different from hockey. One Olympic athlete is Rachael Lynch. Rachael Lynch was born July 2, 1986, in Western Australia. She participated in the 2016 Rio Olympics but hasn’t participated since. During the Tokyo Olympics she couldn’t go to the Olympics, but she was still able to watch on TV. I chose to do my project on field hockey because my mom, my 2 brothers and I all play it. My mom has been playing since high school and has never stopped. She is adamant that we continue to play field hockey as she adores the sport and won’t let it go. She spoke to the people that run the tri-cities field hockey association to make a boys’ team. She eventually was able to in 2018. At first there was only one of my brothers, 2 of my friends from school, a couple other boys and I on the team. We didn’t have enough for a whole team, so we just played against some of the girls’ teams in the club. We finally got a full team and my brother, and I have been on it ever since. Altogether, I did my project on field hockey as it is one, if not my favorite, sports and most a very underrated sport.

Making the world a better place

Have you ever been in class or at work and keep falling asleep? Well no need to worry now as I am striving to create a machine that lightly pokes you every couple minutes so that you will never doze of again. I am using 3D printing and i am also using the air around use as a power source to power my machine. Utilizing 3D printing has affected my understanding of how technology can change the world as you can create anything with it. 3D printing can make something super small, but can also make a house if you give it enough time.
