3/17/2019 0 Comments Taking dataPart one (3-14-19) This week in CBL has been extremely productive. On Tuesday, we made the care packages! Inside we put paper, colored pencils, colored and regular paper, paint and paint brushes, and a card written by either us or a classmate! This was a tremendous relief to get finished, and we are so glad to be able to move on from this! The other thing that happened this week, was we found an organization that will be able to give the boxes to the refugees! We had emailed them a few days ago, and they emailed us back two days ago saying they would like to help us out! Finding an organization has been one of my big priorities this project, so finally connecting with people was amazing. The last hurdle that we have to jump is getting the boxes to them, and taking data on it. Our science teacher gave us an extension for the data bit of the project, but only for the weekend. Part two (3-16-19) We’re back and we have our data! We created 20 boxes, which have colored pencils, paper, paints and paint brushes, and cards written by us and some of our classmates. We have distributed them, and we’ve taken data. We found that 85% of people with PTSD treated with art have found release in creativity. Something we could have changed to increase the impact we made on the issue was greater scale. If we had more donations and volunteers we could have created a greater impact with more packages. Our group chose a topic that was broader then we imagined. We chose a problem that was complex and affects many people, so our 20 boxes will act as a first step into how our art can alleviate the affects of PTSD. We received a lot of positive feedback from colleagues and adults. We would like to thank German Macias, Biljana Debogovic, Peyman Malaz, and especially Carly Boos, who made sure that the boxes got to the refugees. Thank you all!
