Student+projects+June

Below you will find the projects from The Ridgeway Campus June La Trobe program. They are unedited at the moment, students were asked to get up whatever they had completed at the end of the program. Hopefully back at school they will have to time to do proof-read and correct any errors. Some students have made movies, these will be loaded during the holiday break

Bella and Fede || Drugs in Sport ( Blog) Many athletes choose to use performance enhancing drugs to help them win regardless of the numerous risks involved. We became interested in this topic after listening to a lecture by Professor Jones, it inspired us to want to know more especially as we were both keen athletes. || [] || //How we deal with cancer now and in the future:// Cancer is a huge problem worldwide. We were interested in possible future cures with this disease by Mick Foley's lecture about shark antibodies, and have deeply investigated the future of cancer treatment. There are three components to our project: a video, a magazine and a formal report. || Video link: [] || Originally, the three of us were interested in different areas of stem cells, so we decided to form a group to focus on all three, and changed our topic questions to cover the future and ethics of stem cell research. Our video is presented in a documentary format. Note: Our project is incomplete, as we are planning to make a longer documentary-style movie. We plan to work on it in future Media Studies classes. || media type="file" key="SC Ethics Audio.mp3" width="240" height="20" || //Animals and antibodies, an unusual combination. What's the relationship?// We chose this topic because we all found it very interesting. We found it amazing how antibodies from animals can help human life and potentially cure diseases like cancer and malaria. We presented our information in a blog. We hope you like our presentation. :) || [] || I have chosen to do this topic because the profession of being a scientist is wuite a multi-ended task and I wanted to explore what all their jobs include. The presentation is in a PDF form and it is meant to look like a magazine. Thank you. || || //How have robotics changed and how do they affect our lives?// We did this topic because we were interested on how robotics started and how they are currently evolving. ||   || //How does technology affect our relationship with cancer?// Each of us chose the idea of how technology affects the way we live, we then defined it into the medical area and then subjected it to cancer. Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia and we wanted to find out how doctors and scientists are trying to combat it. There are many interesting links and videos to look through so enjoy! || [] || //The Changing face of printing, where to next?// The three of us researched information on the future possibilities for 3d printing, and will be presenting it by using a wiki. || http://thechangingfaceofprinting.wikispaces.com/Home+Page || //To what extent is it acceptable to use animal testing to improve human health?// Each of us researched different aspects of animal testing and and chose to present it in a virtual PowerPoint || || We chose to present our information under the topic of "Shark Antibodies, a 'bite' into science". We found Dr Foley's research into shark antibodies really interesting and we were eager to find out more! Our research included the discovery of shark antibodies, the current progress and finally the future possibilities of this exciting technology. We created a presentation on a program called Prezi. We were members of the art group and created a website as well. || [|http://eliselol2010.wix.com/latrobe2012-#!home/mainPage]
