Project Overview/Reflection:
The personal project was a tough and demanding task that has taught me more about the importance of self-management and thinking skills, it has also resulted in me expanding my knowledge in so many ways. From learning about food scarcity and population growth, to how greenhouses work, I am now able to apply my knowledge effectively in new areas.
This project started as a somewhat overwhelming task being that it was completely new to us and was extremely important. The first stage of the person project was brainstorming, where I had to come up with multiple ideas and weight out the pros and cons of each idea, resulting in one final choice. My choice was to build a portable solar powered greenhouse which could grow crops in all weather conditions. I then started writing my report, beginning with Crt.A. Throughout the writing process I also made sure I was recording all major steps and milestones in my project like taking pictures of the construction of the greenhouse, growing plants, or conducting research. After finishing the structure of the greenhouse, I started growing plants, like tomatoes, basil, etc... Since the whole process was completely solar powered, all the plants would get light and water everyday therefore there was no human intervention required.
This project has been an important milestone in my growth as an IB learner and has taught me to take risks and push myself further.
