Entrepreneur ship group

My third exploration for this year is entrepreneurship.This class we divide the student into 3 team (Market research, Advertising and Production). I decide to join in production team with Rathanak and Lux because three of us love to cook. For this 7 week with cooking we have done a lot of things one of them is cooking sauce. We had cook three time for the first time it test not really bad. So we improve it. we had cook at the second time and it get better and everybody like it. So we try to make it again but we make it four times as before but it test different than what we want and now we are trying to make it again to following our second recipe. For our team we are taking our second recipe to be our model of our chili sauce. Although we have a lot problem go on with it too. Second thing that we have done is making a plan with Matt for cooking. During we plan with Matt we also communicate with farmer to help us prepare the raised bed and take out the weed and water it to get ready for growing. If we not finish it the tent team will help us.

Business: Sewing at home

Fixed: Is a material that we use long time in our business (Can use many time).
Variable: Material that we use depend on how many product that you make (Use only once).

Fixed Variable
Scissor Fabric
Needle dye
Table thread
Measure string
Needle pins

We decided to make this business because around my community there a scarcity of seamstress. Also there a lot of demand. It will be more percentage of successful on this business.
We decided to make this business at home because we don’t want to make a shop because we just starting the business (not much money), so we will spend more money. Also we can look at our children and cook food at our house.

Project-based learning

My new exploration for this term Called PBL (project-based learning). We get this idea from the Ministry Of Education in Cambodia. They want to test the the new education system. So he want Liger student to present the PBL to two high school. One is in Phnom Penh ( Chba Ompov High school and Kratie Krong high school in Kratie) During this exploration we are making a presentation about PBL to teacher. We present to them about what is PBL, about presentation, teamwork, interview. Also we have four subjects for them such as Biology, history, physic, and moral women society.

So teacher understand the subject that we give them and can demonstrate to their students. The students have three weeks to complete their works. So the teacher can divide the students in team and let them do their work. Teacher just guide the students not help the students all time. Our teacher divide the student into 4 teams. My team we demonstrate about physic. In this subject we have two main energy that we want to present are Potential & Kinetic energy. So we create some outcome to explain them. My thought to the students, they are really creative but they need time, tools and leader skill.

Changing Cambodian

There are many problem in Cambodia that effect to the people and effect to GDP (gross domestic product). One of the problem in Cambodia are education and waste. I said education because as we compare our country and other country is totaly different.
The problem about education are
1.Family problem
2.salary of the teacher
3.Not good school
4.Not enough teacher
5.Not enough materials
6. Other

. Waste is the problem in Cambodia too and waste will effect to GDP, Environment soil and animal. If in our country have a lot of plastic it will effect to GDP because in our country have a lot of tourists come and visit, if they see that the rubbish all over the place they will think that our country is not beautiful so they might not come to our country again.
Solution
1 . Education
Provide a good jobs to the people in our country so that they can have more money to feed their family and have enough money for their child to go to school. Also increase teacher salary so that they can have enough money to feed their family. We want the government to build a good school for the student to learn. If we can find the volunteer from other country to teach the students in our country. Also we can find some donation for other country and use that money to buy technology staff and other learning material. Also the education system we should change it a little to make it better than now. Also to have a class that the students can go outside the school and do some experiment so they can understand more about their country.

2. Wates

The solution for trash in cambodia is to educate people about the problem when they are throw the rubbish aways. Also we can teach them the way to reduce, reuse and recycle the plastic rather than they throw it aways. Also if the government make a program or competition for the province like what province is the cleanest then they will have some price. They can make the rules like who throw the rubbish they will have a punish. WE can tell the seller to don’t give the plastic bag to the buyer until they ask for a bag.

3. Changing Cambodia.
In this year i has change cambodia a little bite. Me and my team had create a book for the Cambodian kids. That book is about Cambodia Economy. We will share our book to all government school in Cambodia. For me as the writer i think that our book is a part of helping Cambodia.

I go to an unusual school

I go to an unusual school. My school is called Liger Learning Center school. At Liger we have 25 girls and 25 boys. We have different subjects than the government schools in Cambodia. One of the subjects is The Cambodia Economy. In Economy class we are writing a book. We tried to collect as much information as we could. We went to some province in Cambodia to interview the different part of economy. Now we are really being print our book and we will donate our books to the government schools. Also we a lots of subjects in Liger. Ligre is unusual school because we have a lot of opportunity to have a chance to the other places in Cambodia also outside the country too. In the government school we don’t have a lot of opportunity to the other places. Liger is unusual for me and other 49 students. All of our subjects are connect to our country. Our main idea is to CHANGE our country to get better. liger is a amazing school in Cambodia.

Food Systems Description

Exploration 6

Exploration Name: Food Systems
Exploration Dates: March 10 – May 2
Number of Students: 15

A food system is the cyclical process of growing, transforming, packaging, transporting, cooking, eating, and recycling food. Sometimes we can skip some of these steps. For example if we eat a mango that grows from a tree at our house we are skipping packaging, transporting, cooking, and transforming. This is an example of a local food system. An example of a global food system is chips that have ingredients from different parts of the world and are packaged, transformed and transported all over the world.

In our class we learned the difference between all three kinds of soil. They are sand, silt and clay. We started to grow the seeds. The seeds have grew, but we have not taken its to grow in our raised beds yet. In one day we have to give the water to the plants 3 – 4 times. We learned the six steps to grow the seeds, from laying the toilet paper to moving them in the tray. We have learned the part of the seeds. There are seed coat, embryo and cotyledons. We learned about the fruits and vegetables. We also learned about global and local food systems. Global is the food that is all around the world. Local is the food that is near. Ex: If we are Cambodian and buy the food in Cambodia that food is the local because it is near where we live. Ex: If we are Cambodian and buy the food from Malaysia that food is the global because it is far away from where we live. Also, we learn about the pros and the cons about local and global food systems.

We took four trips to learn about Food Systems. The first trip we went on Organic farm. The owner shown us how to grow the seeds. In his farm there are ten different typesof seeds: lettuce, fruit plants and herbs. Also, he told us that insects and the weeds destroy his farm. Weeds are the things that you don’t want. EX: In the farm have the grass that grows, the weeds is the grass because the farmer doesn’t want that to grow in their farm. New technology is that they cover the soil by the plastic because when we put the compost and the water will not go away. Compost is made out of the animals poo mixed with soil and rice husks. The second trip we went to Natural garden store. In that shop sell vegetables, snacks, wine and ingredients. The owner had taught us how to find where the food came from. The owner said that some of his fruits, vegetable and cookies are bought from France, America, Thailand, North America, Singapore, Germany and local. He has own farm in Kampong Speu and at Kampong Som. The third trip we went to University Agriculture. In there we learned about hydroponics. The guide told us that hydroponic is the new technology in Cambodia. Hydroponics means growing on the water. At there we saw lots of lettuce that grows on the water. The last trip we went to Rice Mill. We learned about the different rice in Cambodia. Also, we learned the difference between brown rice and white rice and how both of this rice is good for us.

Here is the blog that our group have make.
