1.) Learning Process

2.) History/background including interviews with credible mentors.

3.) Final Product, what we gained and where we will take it.

Blog 4/17

    My field experience over the weekend involved a meeting with our new found mentor, as well as our first experience on trails, as we have taken back up our original idea that was long boarding. I feel more confident than ever that we will be able to give a conclusive talk about our experience, and I an thoroughly looking forward to continuing this project.
   I was surprised about what stuck out to me the most when riding the trails throughout cedar rapids and the surrounding areas, and that was me taking in my surroundings to a degree that I never had, and noticing things about my city that have never been on my mind before. I think this is going to turn into a way for me to experience parts of my city I have never noticed before. I think this along with the process behind choosing and building a board will come together for a successful end product.

   In reference to my 20- time project, my group has decided to take a different route than originally planned, and attempt to take up cooking. Cooking is a skill that will last us a lifetime, and i was debating adding a twist to it as well, such as making the recipes we learn be ones strictly from the civil war era or the Great Depression Era, so not only to we broaden our cooking abilities, but we also get a literal taste of what nutrition and food was like from said time period. It would broaden our horizons to a degree that would not be reachable by learning how to ride a long board down a hill.
    Moving forward from this point, I think the next step for our project is to begin research and find recipes that would fit whatever qualifications we set, and begin learning how to cook said recipes.
