ILP 2

Posted by Avery Measley in Advisory Sophomore - Menasion - adv on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at 11:43 am

I have had a great time at my ILP. I now know how to assemble, code, and package about six of the company's products. I get to use large machinery along with soldering tools.

I usually visit for two and a half hours every Wednesday, and that gives me enough to time to complete an optical device. It’s cool to think that I have made something that was sold to researchers!

My experience with my ILP is great. My goal is to visit more places around Philadelphia and my host is doing a great job helping me find these places. I also love the kids that also go to Mighty Writers and they are really helpful and friendly. And even though im only there once a week, every time i go back to the site, they are doing a new activity that i can join in on or if they are doing a workshop, i can help people with essays. Its only been amazing since i started and i cant wait to go back.

​I enjoy my ILP as much as ever! I really like teaching the children and watching them grow. This semester I didn't do as much actual teaching, because they're much more experienced than they were at the beginning of the year.
Even with that though, I think I have a deeper knowledge of scratch because of how I explore the stuff they are learning at a more advanced level.

My ILP is consistently fascinating. I and several other students receive a law class instructed by two student teachers from Drexel University. Each week, we learn about a new area of law. Touch on new concepts, amendments, and legal ideas and discussions. The environment is very open and casual, making it a perfect learning environment for someone at any understanding level. Since we have to actually discuss, push, and put serious thought into each and everything we are taught, I have actually learned a great deal from this class. A few months ago I would not have been able to tell you anything about Tort Law, or the numerous nuances of the 4th amendment. Yet now, I can keep up a conversation about these topics with ease, with the ability to cite examples and cases from memory. This ILP presented me with a wonderful opportunity to compete in a "mock trial" of sorts, I was given a case, brought to a competition, where I proceeded to the semi finals and won 4th place. Recently, due to a drop out from the national championships, I had an opportunity to enter the competition on a national level. Sadly, due to the timing of the drop out I would not be able to prepare for the event in any way before it took place, so I had to turn down the opportunity to compete. It was still a great, learning experience to reach that point, and I can't wait to have what I hope will be many more in this ILP.

Although helping at Chosen 300 is a rewarding concept and time, it has sometimes been hard because of the timing. Since they only serve from 5-8, it's hard to stay in the city so long and getting back can be hard too. That's why for the fourth quarter I have decided to change my ILP to help out with coaching younger kids softball. It's near my house and it's something I grew up doing so I'm excited to help out with the younger girls and the coach has always been so great.

I've had my ILP since October and I still find it pretty interesting. Each week we do something different. Whether it is working in the office or exploring owned properties. I learned and and still am learning so many different things. Not just about real estate, but about constructing and surfing too! I enjoy my ILP because it's not the same as others. Every time I go back I know to expect something different.

As previously stated, my ILP is at an after school program at the church I attend. I am very familiar with a lot of the students seeing as I used to attend their elementary school. I quite enjoy it there. The staff is accommodating of my needs regarding school work and scheduling. I have a great time and I feel right at home. It's nice to reminisce on the homework I used to have and it keeps me on my toes and helps me remember.

Hello everyone well my ILP is the same as the last time The Franklin Institute. First of all it is working out well everyone is so nice to me and they really have brought me in as a member of their TFI family. I have also received my TFI ID which I can use to go anywhere and just to name a few the basement (volunteer area) 5th,3rd floor and I can get into any traveling exhibit. Another cool thing I was able to do was create a scavenger hunt for the freshman which is in the comments if you would like to complete it for yourself. And lastly another thing I was able to do this year was go to the annual TFI Christmas party which was cool and also able to see my favorite scientist ever Bill Nye the science guy.


So overall I have a really cool ILP

P.s: Please feel free to ask any questions or comments about the scavenger hunt below.

For my ILP, I go to Mighty Writers in West Philly. I do a writing mini course along with SLA Beeber kids and everything is going great. I am looking forward to learning more about writing, writing structures, and poetry (that's one of the main things we do there). Something that stands out to me is how comfortable and open the setting is at Mighty Writers; its an atmosphere where you can be yourself and bring your ideas to the table to be shared. I think its important to be open to others' ideas and opinions and try your best to compromise when there are disagreements. What went well for me was getting to meet new people and develop a good relationship with the people I'm working with and my boss.

For My ILP I am working for a company that creates HFORD's (Handheld Fiber Optic Response Devices)for MRI scanners and researchers. I have part-timed with them over the summer, and they invited me back for my ILP. So far I have been there twice, for roughly 3 1/2 hours each time. I continued working with things I did over the summer and have also been able to use machinery that forms the products. It gives you a different point of view to put together a motherboard that will be used in a device later on. This will definitely be a great experience.
