Update Blog #2

                                      Update

How far have you gotten? Has your idea changed at all during the process? What obstacles have you encountered? Have you gotten all your materials? What are your next steps?             
      Our process has changed just a bit because we we're going to make the fruit baskets first but we decided to make the cookies first. So far we've gathered most of our materials. We have everything to make cookies and we found the baskets so we can make the nurses fruit baskets. We haven't bought the fruit since we're making the cookies first and we don't want the fruit to be bad by then. An obstacle that we faced was finding the time to go to the store to buy the ingredients since Gurleen's schedule doesn't alway match with mine. Our next step is to make the cookies and then call the Nurses department to ask when we can go. Once they give us the date we will ask my mom to take us.

Project Proposal #1

What is a Capstone Project????

A Capstone project is a project where you choose your project and it has to help yourself or the community. This project is also known are the 20% project. Some of our teachers give us time to work on them during their classes and we have to do weekly blogs about them. We can pick our own topic but it has to be something that helps you or the community. 

Project proposal: 

What is your Goal? How and why did you decide on this goal? How are you going to reach your goal? 

Our goal is to show nurses that they are appreciated by giving them some treats.We decided to work on this goal because we found out that some nurses are not getting the appreciation for the things they do for patients. We are going to reach this goal by going to a grocery store and buy the different types of fruits and some baskets to go along with them. Once we have all the materials we will make the fruit baskets. This is what we'll do the first week and then we'll take something different every other week or every two weeks.  We will be taking these goodies to the nurses at the Santa Clara Medical Center.



Who are you thinking about to ask to be your mentor? What possible obstacles do you expect to face in your progress towards your goal and how to you plan to overcome these hurdles?

Our mentor for this project will be my mom because she is available most of the time and she knows some of the nurses that work at that hospital. An obstacle that we are probably going to face is having to buy all the things that we will be giving them. Since there are so many nurses we can't give them all something at the same time so we'll be taking them different things every time we go. Also we want to try to give every nurse at least one thing. So we will have to try to go on different days and at different times.
