Cure AP Choose Your Own Adventure
This year we have struggled with loss and sickness. This project focuses on placing yourselves in the shoes of a professional going through a pandemic that hasn’t quite been resolved yet. Just like the medical professionals and scientists of today are trying to solve COVID- 19. It was fun to get into a group and work together on making a working puzzle for others to go through. I hope that you find the slideshow just as intriguing as we did while making it.
You are playing as a disease detective brought to another state/ city to find out what illness has been causing trouble for the population. Go and meet the town doctors, gather info from some of the patients, and create a hypothesis on what you think exactly is causing the commotion. Best of luck to you!
This project was one of the most creative I’ve been assigned all year. The challenge of finding a disease and breaking its habits and symptoms into pieces of a puzzle for others to put together was really interesting. The group made it really enjoyable for anyone who took on the challenge to find the vaccine and deliver results. Every slide showed a lot of personalities and even had an alternate ending! Although the experience was fun there were many things that could have been worked on to help the person going through the puzzle deeper understand what they had to do and how. Some slides tell you to find answers to things the participant may not know how to properly accomplish such as finding efficacy rate and solving for vaccine efficiency. Then once you pick the right answer it takes you to a new page telling you to do something different without no acknowledging that it was the correct answer. I feel like the class prepared me for these challenges though, I knew what had to be done even if it wasn’t always clear to me at times.
