Avalon School

This project began with my desire to change our state flag. The current flag is problematic because it contains racist imagery, is nearly identical to half of the US state flags and because visually it is unappealing. I created a new flag after research into design principals and into emblematic images of Minnesota. In this new flag, the blue represents the lakes and rivers of Minnesota, the green represents the forests and nature, the white represents the cold and snow of the state, and the star is the state's motto, which is "L'Etoile du Nord" which is French for "the North Star"

This was a partner project between myself and Lina Tjarks. We went to Minnehaha park and took pictures of invasive plants and then identified where it came from.

I spent time throughout my senior year designing and building a small cabin for my Senior Project. I spent over 300 hours on this project.
