Personalised passion project - Bubble Tea and Boba Cafe

For our Personalized Passion Project, Johanna and I have decided to make a Minecraft boba cafe and boba tea. This is because we both share a passion for boba. The research was used to help us with our project. We searched a couple sites and videos regarding the tea and we looked on Pinterest for cafe inspirations. We ended with a driving question: “how we can make boba for ourselves and friends.”

The planning we did helped us keep track of what needed to be done each day throughout the term. In our plan, we didn’t include our plan for the boba cafe we made in Minecraft. Next time something we would do differently in our planning is to research a better website because the one we used had an unrealistic time to make boba. 

There was a lot of thought and process going into both the cafe and tea. 

During the making of the cafe, we both implemented our ideas so that the cafe suits our best interest. Making the Minecraft cafe took us a couple tries for it to get to where we wanted it to be. As for the tea, it was easy to make as there were few steps going into it, however, an issue that we encountered was uncooked tapioca pearls as we relied on one website that wasn't valid. Our project ended up being fun as it included the shared interest in boba. 

Reflection questions

Now that it's over, what are my first thoughts about this overall project? Are they mostly positive or negative? My thoughts about my overall project are positive because Johanna and I did a really good job at making our boba cafe as well as making the boba.

How well did I and my team communicate overall? Johanna and I did a really good job of communicating as a team. This helped us figure out what we needed to do each step of the way.

What would I do differently if I were to approach the same problem again? If we were going to do this again we could make the tapioca pearls earlier as it took a while for it to cook.

The article, I read talked about how the new series on Netflix called Squid Game has surpassed Brigderton in the all-time series launch with 111 million views. Because the new series has become a huge hit throughout the world it reached a historic milestone. The last record was from the series called Brigderton with 82 million views the first month. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that Squid game would be a big hit and since then there has been a lot of attention towards the series. Currently, the Netflix show is the most viewed in over 90 countries so far. 

Critical literacy question: Who would most likely read this and why? I think the people who would most likely read this are people who are fans of the show and want to know more about it. I also think that people who are most likely to read this are people who want to find out how many views Squid game has gotten.
