May is Bike Month
For the May is bike month project we had a choice to do a couple of things. We were required to do either a video, poster, advisory activity ect to advertise that May was bike month and to advertise bike safety. The May is bike month Project helped me grow in the area of collaboration and knowledge and thinking because my teammates and I had to quickly collaborate to come up with a new idea for our project. The reason being time, we had just finished with 2 very important projects that we had (Project Green, Youth Energy Summit) and we had only 1 day and a half to work on the project. My teammate and I really took advantage of the little time we had and recorded and failed with that idea and then thought of a backup idea. Our project focused on bike safety, so we came up with a song about bike safety and used the beat to Tik Tok by Ke$ha. We also made a short slide show to go along with the song we recorded in the studio. Before the project my skill level in knowledge and thinking was well established. I was obligated to think of the spot to come up with a new idea for our project. This helped me and kind of gave me a reality check because things are not always going to go as planned. Sometimes you plan your schedule and you don’t give yourself enough time. I learned to try and manage my time better and not get into to many extracurricular groups so that I have time for school work. In the process of this project I do not think I expanded in knowledge but I did learn how to work on the fly and how to collaborate with teammates without freaking out.
