During the 2019- 2020 school year many students grappled with the unfamiliar reality of nationwide virtual schooling. The Philadelphia School District has been online since March of 2020 and there have been many cases of students struggling to stay motivated,Many seniors and juniors of less fortunate/funded high. Most 2020 high school graduates lost their privileges to go to prom, take a senior trip, and close out their high school journey strong. Nationally the perseverance of students and teachers was the essential part in making sure online school was a success during the following year . For my capstone I wanted to focus on how students grappled with the new norm of virtual schooling. Furthermore I aimed to open up what it means to maintain your mental health in a pandemic.

My capstone was to create an Etsy shop, AStellarCraft, which is linked below, to see how digital media and consumer goods where connected. This would also help provide me experience and eventually lead me to my future career in marketing and advertising. All the profits that I made from this store was donated to the Trevor Project, and the receipt of my donation is also shown below. I have during the time of lockdown and coronavirus, I have been able to hone and study a new skill: crocheting. I wanted to use this skill to not only help gay youth around the country, but also investigate the ties between what I have been studying in CTE Digital Video for the past three years and the abundance of online marketplaces and stores.
