Niko's 3rd Quarter Creative Project: Dionysus Video

Hi! My name is Niko and I’ll be discussing the process of how I created my project for “What in the World?” which was the creative project we were assigned this quarter. We were told that we had to create a project about anything we were interested it, but it had to tie into a specific place. I immediately thought of Greece since I’m extremely fascinated in classic Greek mythology. Although at first I wanted to focus of the aspects of Olympus via myths about it, I eventually settled on Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, as the topic for my project. I’m not too sure why exactly I chose such a “lame” god, I guess I was curious about his true history since you never hear ANYTHING about him. Heck, some people don’t even know he exists! But boy am I glad I chose him, I got to learn so many interesting things about Dionysus, things I would’ve never known unless I took on a project like this.

Welcome to Through Our Eyes @ PSI High

At PSI High, our purpose is to create a place where students acquire the tools to construct a better world. To help us move towards this purpose, we (students and teachers) embrace four core operating principles:

1. Our school belongs to students.
2. We build effective relationships.
3. We're always improving.
4. We make stuff.

That last idea, that we make "stuff," is really about putting ideas into action. We want to empower young people to take their ideas and translate them into something that can be used by others. 

Through Our Eyes is part of that process. This will be a platform for students and teachers to publish their ideas and work, reflect publicly on the process, and engage with the online community on work that matters.

Please check back regularly and engage with our community.
