REASONS WHY I LOVE STEM (K-12)
For
this blog, I will share some good memories that I did during my whole stay in
Senior High School. I have a lot of good activities to share with you but I
only chose the subjects that are core and specialized to this strand so that
the content will only focus about Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics. I will share you the 5 activities or projects that makes me
love studying STEM.
When
it was my first semester of Grade 11, our project in Solid Geometry during our
midterm is to make a 2D floor plan of a house and for the final term is to make
a physical 3D of it. I really enjoyed the time in making the 2D and 3D because
I feel like, even for once, I get to be an architect and engineer at the same
time because when I was a child I dreamed to be an architect someday but due to
my lack of drawing and imagination skills I withdraw those thoughts
immediately. So I just enjoy myself looking at the flyers that I always
received in the malls from a condominium company with the floor plan designs
that they offer and also following Facebook pages that post and shares a house
design.
I
heard AutoCad during the time I’m looking for an application that can help me
make a 2D floor plan but because of its complexity I didn’t bother to use it
anymore. Too bad one of my subject for my last semester as a Senior High School
student is AutoCad. I don’t know what to feel because it’s the application that
I don’t want to use but it is also the same application where some architects
and other profession draws. As time passes by, I find it somehow easy because
of the ready tools present there and the techniques I eventually learned to the
point that I found myself enjoying in creating things that we were asked to do.
My final project for this subject is to make a 3D model house and even though I
spend some of night sleepless because of this the result was still worth
because I get to do what I like when I was a kid.
I
enjoyed my Installation of Computer System core subject because I learned how
to format a computer successfully and put a drivers and application in it. Some
of you might say that we don’t need to study this because there is YouTube that
will give us the knowledge about it but me, who don’t like to watch lengthy
videos, I prefer to learn by teaching it personally to me. Video tutorials
don’t usually last longer in my memory that’s why.
I love
all of my Programming classes not only because I can surf the internet during
the whole class but also make programs that I thought I cannot do. My Grade 9
years makes me think that I cannot do any program because I don’t even know
where to start to do the point that I ask one of my classmate to do my project
for me, which is not I’m very proud of. So I was shocked that I actually make a
successful program for the first time and from there I enjoyed every second of
that class even if there are so many confusing codes.
Believe
it or not but I actually enjoyed learning about Disaster Readiness and Risk
Education. I don’t know why but I really have a thing about studying disaster
and that makes me like to study those things which is kind of weird to me for
no reason. And to add to my weirdness, I even chose BS Geology as one of my
desire course in University of the Philippines which is very far to the course
that I want to pursue.
So
that's my 5 reasons! To my fellow Grade 12 students, future graduates, what is
the thing or activity that you did during your Senior High School Year that you
enjoyed and love to do the most? I hope you enjoyed reading this. HATE section
is already out!
