HASS+ Project

Progress Update 1

The research project that we have chosen to research is the economy and how it will perform in the future.

Our main focus area is how to take advantage of the future economy in terms of new energy developments. We’ll be looking at the emergence of clean & renewable energy and how to discuss how we can capitalise on these opportunities.

The steps that I have completed so far are finalising our idea and how to present it in an interesting and creative way. We have decided to make an advert/short video. We have also researched a lot of the renewable energy sector to find ways of taking advantage of the future economy. An example is investing in up and coming renewable energy producers in the ASX to make lots of profit.

Our plan for continuing our project includes creating pamphlets and an advert (short video), on how individuals can best take advantage of the future economy in terms of renewable energy. Some things included will be shares to buy, up and coming companies to look out for, and products to use to save money.

Progress Update 2

Overall, the main feedback our group received was to make our pamphlet look professional and also include how the use of renewable energy has evolved over time. We have included this feedback by choosing a professional, yet engaging theme for our pamphlet and have highlighted how the use of renewable energy has evolved over time in our video.

Our project idea involves a series of components that will persuade and guide our audience in what will flourish in the future and how they can take advantage of this. We are going to create a pamphlet which consists of what to invest in, in the future in terms of renewable energy and why. The video we are going to create includes a futuristic interview of people taking different pathways.

The steps that we have completed so far are creating an idea & script for our video. We’ve decided to create a newscast set in the future of 2050. At this time, we interview people who took different paths in their investing careers. We ask them where they went wrong & right, and if there’s anything they would’ve changed. The video will educate our viewers on how to properly take advantage of the economy in the future. We’ve also begun to create our pamphlet. It contains information about future circumstances & laws that will be applied and have an impact on the effectiveness of renewable energy. It also includes a guide for possible investments to make and when to invest in them.

RAAFA InnovatED 2019

In InnovatED (A innovative subject in our school) we were given a problem to solve from one of our multiple service partners. I chose to solve RAAFA’s problem which was how could they create an on-campus meal delivery service for residents. They were looking for a way to deliver meals from their two cafes to the resident’s homes. Currently, the residents have to walk across the large campus to get their food, so if they are unwell or injured they might miss out on a meal. Our is to create an on-campus ‘Uber Eats’ so that the food is delivered to the door in a neat and orderly manner. We are going to use a golf kart fitted with heating and cooling compartment which also has a table where you can place items on top of the compartment. The kart is called the Refresher FS4-13.5 HP. During the service project, we had to use multiple powers throughout the process of this term. The first power that we used was knowledge. As a group, we had to gather knowledge of the service we were helping and what their problem was. We also used teamwork because if we didn’t work as a team we wouldn’t have gotten as far as we did. After we had done all are planning we pitched our idea to the RAAFA representative and got feedback on our idea and presentation skills.
