Project
Back to the APS Class Page
Generate Ideas for your Project
- Brainstorm a list of 7-8 local issues (T.O. or Ventura County),
specifically define issue and proposed solution
- Narrow the list to 3, and brainstorm possible solutions for each
of the 3:
For each idea:
- Identify those who would benefit & how they would benefit
- List all potential costs
- Identify those who would oppose change
Then…
- Choose one of your solutions for further development
- Research:
- Take photos, find newspaper articles, conduct interviews and
surveys connected to your issue (keep evidence of your research to turn
in with your project)
- Identify the channels (agencies, boards, departments, etc.) you
would need to go through to solve your issue
- The actual, specific financial costs of carrying out your
solution (you should create a budget for your project using Excel)
- A realistic funding source for your solution
