My last 5K in Students Run LA

About Me

Paul Alan Acosta
As a child I grew up with many toys and most of them would get disassembled by me and then fixed like new because thats what I liked to do. I always was amazed as to how things worked and what went in to making them. As I grew, my interest in engineering grew more and more but I also have other interesst such as playing sports, video games, math, running, and building.

Interests in Engineering

  • I am interested in the building aspect of engineering.
  • I am also interested in the designing of products to better the world and environment.
  • I find the different kinds of things we can use to gain energy, such as wind power and solar power, very interesting.
  • Oh I am very interested in trying to find a different way to power a car aside from gas or electrical.

Experience in Engineering

  • As I grew up and over the summer I would help my grandpa build big bird houses.
  • I've fixed a television by opening it up and looking through the system inside it one summer. It was very interesting and kind of difficult but I kind of fixed it.
  • I built a roller coaster with popsicle sticks and tubing for my math class in 11th grade.
  • When I was 12 my first x-box wasn't working so I opened it up and tried to find the problem and fix it. I was successful in the end by the way, and I felt very proud of myself for that. It makes me laugh still to this day.

Portfolio

  • For this semester long project my team the Green Garden Gurus (G3) and I were task with the helping the Redwood Coast Montessori School upgrade their entrance garden and make it more aesthetically pleasing. Aside from building and designing a new entrance garden for the Redwood Coast Montessori school we also had to write a professional document about the project. On top of that we also had some work we had to do individually such as excel spread sheets, Microsoft word, and AutoCAD.
  • This is our groups Final Document for our Project.
  • This is our groups Gantt Chart that I created for our group to help us choose which design to implement.
  • This is one of my Excel Spread Sheet that I produced.
  • This is one of my AutoCAD that I designed.
  • Here is an example of a Memo that I have written.
