For my junior project, me and my friend, Anu, created a podcast that focuses on mental health. We do talk about other topics though, but we always keep it positive, as the goal of this project is to spread positivity.
The 21st Century Skill that I associate with this project is Self-Directional Skills, because the teachers only gave us a few basic due dates, like for progress presentations. My project is where it’s at now because of the goals that me and my partner set for it. I’ve improved in my Self-Directional skills because now I know how helpful it is to set goals for myself, and how it can help improve motivation.
I’m proud of a lot of things that I've been able to accomplish with this project. I'm proud that our podcast has about 22 followers as of right now because it took us a while to get to at least 20 followers. I'm proud that we’ve managed to stay on schedule and upload new episodes on Friday. The biggest thing I'm proud of is the feedback we're receiving from our classmates, and teachers. One of our teachers said that she loves me and Anu's dynamic as we compliment each other in a lot of ways, and one of our classmates told us that she downloaded Spotify just to specifically listen to our podcast.
The most difficult task was gaining a following, as only a few people were able to access our podcast, as it was on a not as well known platform. It was also a process to transfer platforms and use a different one to upload to a much more accessible platform. If I was to do this project differently, I would've probably tried to find more ways to upload our podcast on a much easier distribution site before deciding on the one we originally had before we made the switch.
