Blog 15: Independent Component 2

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

• At the moment I have two ideas on what to do for my Independent Component 2.

• My first idea was to plan this year's "Senior Prom" at the senior center. I would go through the whole process of planning, budgeting, and advertising. I would have to research what the seniors expect to have and how to create a nice event and experience for them. I like this idea most because I am pretty creative and I know that I would enjoy this project very much. 
• The only problem is that the Prom has usually been held in June, and this component is due in April. I'm not sure how the seniors or the staff would feel about an April prom, and it is too soon. 

• I could hold the prom in early May and just turn in my planning work up to the event.

• My second idea was to plan a health fair. I would go through the process of planning, and scheduling. I would contact companies and health experts to further inform the seniors about health. This event could also include eye exams or blood pressure tests. 

• Even though health is not the topic I find most interesting, it might be easier and the event could be done before the component due date.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

• With both ideas, I plan to show the evidence of my hours by showing some of my paperwork of planning, scheduling, and/or budgeting. I also plan to take pictures of my work. Planning any event takes hours of work, so I am sure i will meet the requirement.

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.

• With the Prom event, I would research the usual audience at these event too see which generation they're mainly from, and their likes/dislikes.I would learn more on how to cater specifically to seniors, entertainment wise.

• With the health fair, I would research on the main health concerns that seniors have and try to provide access to experts and care having to do with those topics. I would also learn more about senior health.

4.  Post a log in your Senior Project Hours link and label it "Independent Component 2" log.
