Photo of the Day: CTE Expo Highlights Media, Construction, Business, and Journalism Projects
1. Sienna Rodriguez, Editor-in-Chief, explains the CTE Journalism program.
2. Isaiah Snyder: “We built a pitch deck for our app, Eco Clear—a social platform for landscaping. I’ve done door to door side hustles before in neighborhoods where I do pressure washing and landscaping. Instead of going door to door, it connects the consumer to the freelancers or service providers.”
3. Danica Wedum: “In Photo One, we do a lot of hands on work. We learn how to operate a camera, and then we learn how to do Photoshop and a little bit of graphic design. One of our most recent assignments was designing an album cover out of a picture we took.
4. Maverick Munoz “It’s a common problem Americans have. A good business idea is something that can help solve a problem for a lot of different people.”
5. Priscilla Sharifie: “What inspired me about the business pathway was the great community and skills I’ve learned. We recently used Microsoft tools and learned about the stock market.”
6. Kylie Grabisch: “We created Vitals, which is a all in one safety kit. And we took that, not only to the class, we took it to a pitch competition and ended up winning, which was a super cool opportunity.”
7. Rajvi Shah: “We created a system that eliminates checkout by using special tags and scanners on the exit so as you walk through, it brings up your total, and you can just pay using Apple Pay or whatever you like.”
8. Priscilla Sharifie handed out GBHS business pitch and investment tickets.
9. Kian Zahedani: “In engineering, we built chairs, which was really fun, like iron deck chairs. It was a good lesson because we would design it online and then built it.”
10. Julie Francesconi, Journalism advisor, shares newspapers and details the Journalism pathway to a parent and student.
11. Allison Kimoto and Sofiia Shpak share their award-recognized media films.
