The Blood Bank Project

This project is collaboration with the San Diego Blood Bank and High Tech High seniors. It is also collaboration between the Biology / Multimedia Teacher and the art teacher. The students will learn about blood, blood diseases, blood in the body, blood banking and blood politics. They will also educate the community and bring awareness of the issues that surround our San Diego Blood Bank. Hopefully they will get people to give blood and sell their creations to bring money to the blood bank.
