Website Mania

These past couple of weeks have been very busy, filled with a number of fun projects that I have finally completed! The first was a website on an important, recent social movement: The Women's March on Washington! This event, which took place January 21, 2017, was the biggest social march in the history of the United States. If you would like to learn more about this event, check out my team's website by clicking on the image below:


This week I also worked on a blog about virtual reality. If anyone is interested in that topic, take a look at that blog as well:


Anyway, this week in class we talked about the Umbrella Movement of 2014, which began as a protest for fair elections in Hong Kong. The umbrellas were significant because they were often used as protection from tear gas used by law enforcement during their protests. The movement was organized through an online forum called HKGolden, and volunteers, with the help of donations, were able to organize medical care, clean up, and other basic necessities. To learn more about the Umbrella Movement, watch the video below:


I also wanted to comment that Zootopia, the movie I mentioned earlier in my blog, won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film of 2016! 


Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the content in this week's post. Have a great rest of the week!
