Challenged Based Learning- Problem Videos
Students' second project was Challenged Based Learning (CBL). CBL is an empowering learning opportunity that connects students to their community. Students become active participants who solve real world problems. Students have the opportunity to really make the world a better place!
Students began by identifying a problem they were concerned about and researched the topic for a better understanding. Students also created a challenge to solve the problem. Students demonstrated their knowledge of the problem through a CBL video. Here is what they created.
Problem Challenge
The next step to CBL is completing further research and creating an implementation plan. Students will create a plan to solve their problem which will complete their "Challenge". Once students have implemented their proposed solution they will create a Solution video evaluating the effectiveness of their plan.

School Waste
The problem that we have a Sylmar High School is food waste. This problem impacts our community and school. Food waste is occurs right after lunch at the cafeteria most of the time. The wasting of food occurs during lunch. It has always been a problem at Sylmar High School but its getting worst because they don’t throw their trash away. These students are unwilling to pick up after themselves every year, the problem is that we don’t do anything about it. It impacts us and our community by seeing food not being eaten and seeing people that need food, students are wasting it. It impacts our community by creating an litter culture
Our process was thinking of different ideas of how much food gets wasted at school, brain storming our questions, guiding evidence, pictures of before and after. I chose this topic because I feel it affects everyone around us. We want to make a difference in the world and not be like everyone else. Lower Graduation Cost
The problem is that Sylmar HS charges students for graduation. This impacts the students and their families in many ways. This happens in most high schools. This problem occurs during the student senior year of high school. It starts by the leader ship students putting a price on everything. It impacts the community because not all families are rich so they can’t attend.
We were inspired to write about graduation prices because we ourselves are going through that problem. We chose this topic because we feel that this situation affects a lot of students. We should care about this problem because we don’t know if students can afford to pay all this money. Bullying

Homeless Veterans
Our problem is the number of homeless veteran in the San Fernando Valley. These veterans are not being treated or recognized with the respect they deserved. Soldiers should be taken care because they risk their lives to defend their countries. A veteran being homeless impacts their families and the local communities. This problem has been occurring all over the U.S. and all over the world for many decades.
We chose this topic because our group with the help of other people could make a change. If we all agree and work together we could make the world a better place and this country. Our group used many types of things to get this project done. We used computer programs, military programs, and different types of apps. We should all care about this problem because these are people that keep the U.S safe. Also soldiers risk their lives. Jobs in Our Economy
