20% Time Project

     20% Time is a cool project that allows students to work on a project of their choice to help others or make the world better. They get to completely think of whatever they want to do so the sky is the limit. We work on this project during class on Fridays every week. My English class decided to do 20% time and we have some creative ideas(link to the website that has all of my class's blogs at the bottom of this blog post). I decided to work with two other people to come together as a group project and it is turning out great.

     What my group decided to do is to create touch screen stylists that we can sell to people at our school for a low price. These stylists have been created and tested and they work well and are fairly durable. We can also custom make stylists meaning if someone wants us to turn their dried out pen or mechanical pencil into a stylist then we can take it turn it into a stylist. This relates to the 20% time project because we are offering stylists to students for a low price. We also are considering donating some of our profit to another group that is raising money for a charity. I believe that if all goes well we will successfully help other students, help a charity and maybe even have a little money left over for ourselves.
