In this project, you will work with your group to redesign an existing product’s cylindrical packaging so that it has the same volume but with optimized surface area. You will also hold surface area as a constant and optimize the volume of the can. You will then examine some key questions such as: Why should the company optimize their package design? What are the impacts of packaging decisions? (Money, the environment, etc.) Your group will build both of the optimized packages and create an infomercial promoting their product’s new package design.

Create a music project about the adolescent experience to express what is like to grow up as generation alpha. I will create a full music album for others to relate to this experience.

This music will be recorded with equipment and computer applications I have access to. This album will be shared with peers and families of my community.
