YOUR ASSIGNMENT
Once you fall in love with an issue, use one of the tools from the YOUR TOOLBOX page to create a project to help solve your problem. Here are some questions your project should answer:
What does a “day in the life” of a person with this problem look like?
Are there good guys or villains in this problem? If so, who?
Who does this problem affect the most? Why?
How big is the problem (For example, 35% of Americans are obese or over 8000 people died from firearms in the U.S. in 2010)
Why are the solutions already out there not good enough?
