Description
The Mizrahi Jews have greatly influenced current Israeli culture through their music and food. The Mizrahi immigrated from Middle Eastern countries and brought with them their music and food. Their music has changed slowly over time. Musiqa Mizrahit started as music the Mizrahi brought with them when the immigrated to Israel. As they adjusted to Israeli society, they began switching the Arabic words to Hebrew. Musiqa Mizrahit really took off with the creation of cassette recordings that allowed anyone to cheaply record music and share it. As Musiqa Mizrahit became more accessible, it slowly gained popularity across Israel. As popularity for the genre, it slowly became accepted in Israeli society. Up until then, Musiqa Mizrahit had been discriminated against and was not considered part of Israeli culture. Nowadays, Musiqa Mizrahit is very popular and widely accepted in Israel. The food was accepted by the Ashkenazi in the first two decades of the countries existence by the widespread Israeli pushback in Mandatory Palestine and into the existence of the brand new country. now many of the Mizrahi foods are considered part of the Israeli national cuisine.

This paper furthers the examination of the complex relationship between discrimination, identity, and voting habits. This analysis uses data from the Arizona Youth Identity Project conducted in October and September of 2020 to uncover the salient correlations amongst different identities with experiences of discrimination, American Identity, and presidential candidate preference in the 2020 election among the youth voting population in Arizona. The research shows that for this demographic of voters, identities including race, gender, social class, and age are crucial when uncovering patterns of levels of discrimination, American Identity, and candidate preference The study also went further to highlight relationships among intersections of both race and gender with the same measured outcomes.

Description
This thesis proposes and explores an adapted approach to music recommendation and
event promotion, aimed at providing streaming users more accessibility to local artists,
performers, and events. By focusing specifically on the enrichment of local music ecosystems,
this research is undertaken with the express interest of local music artists, venues, and
streamers in mind. It seeks to serve a multifaceted goal: revitalizing local music scenes by
making them more visible and accessible through streaming platforms; empowering local music artists by providing them with a broader audience and new opportunities for engagement; reconnecting artists with the community, thereby fostering a stronger sense of local identity and cultural cohesion; and providing economic benefit to local venues through increased attendance and engagement. In essence, this thesis intends to harness the power of streaming platforms to rekindle the localized relationships between listeners, artists, and venues, thereby contributing to the renaissance, sustainability, and vibrancy of local music cultures. These outcomes will be achieved through a two-pronged theoretical and practical approach, incorporating Proof of Concept (PoC) algorithm with the Business Model Canvas
(BMC). A Proof of Concept recommendation algorithm was developed as a tool to empirically demonstrate the viability of the proposed strategies. This prototype music recommendation
algorithm was designed and tested with the explicit goal of creating a novel music recommendation algorithm that biased users towards exposure of smaller local artists and
events.

Creative thesis written in conjunction with my Media Arts and Sciences capstone project, Relatables. Relatables are a series of collectible cards and pins that feature four fictional characters representing a diverse range of backgrounds and personalities. These characters serve as catalysts for open and insightful discussions, encouraging children to explore and reflect upon the beginnings of complex aspects of human experiences in a comprehensible manner. A QR code on each of the cards direct users to an interactive website that acts as a hub for exploration and discussion where users can access more detailed profiles of each character and resources for parents.

To complement analyses of mass attitudes, internal testimonies from community organizers in nonprofit organizations to understand how campaign investments aim to increase Latino civic engagement in Arizona.

Description
This creative project is about the investigation conducted by Detectives Madison Fox and Mia Katz into the series of murders orchestrated by Professor Grimm at ChemScholars Institute. Professor Grimm uses his botany expertise to locate toxic plants all over the college campus, which he uses to kill the students who mock him, creating a reign of terror. The detectives use toxicology, forensic science, crime scene reports, and autopsy reports to solve the puzzle. An essential part of the investigation is toxicological analysis, which is used to detect toxic substances in the bodies of the victims and link their deaths to Professor Grimm's botanical knowledge. Forensic examination of the crime scenes provides evidence of the traces of poisonous plants found at the murder scene as well as the traces of toxins, and this helps in the reconstruction of how the crime occurred. Fox and Katz combine the various disciplines of forensic science to solve the case, bringing the professor to justice in the end. The interdisciplinary cooperation they demonstrated shows the importance of working together to pursue truth and justice, providing closure for the families of the victims.

Tempe City Roots is an upcoming music festival that aims to promote sustainability and community in the City of Tempe. Accessibility has been notably absent from the ideation process for this festival, despite being essential for a sustainable and community-oriented festival. Equity and justice are core to sustainability and disabled people are important members of the Tempe community. I have undergone a thorough research and ideation process to create nine accessibility-centered ideas for Tempe City Roots based on the thoughts and experiences of the disabled community. These ideas would make Tempe City Roots more accessible and inclusive for all, and allow each attendee to have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Description
Japanese puzzle boxes are exquisite wooden creations that combine artistry, craftsmanship, and the thrill of solving intricate puzzles. Originating in Hakone, Japan, over 100 years ago, these boxes are called "himitsu-bako," which translates to "Personal Secret Box" due to their meticulously designed hidden compartments and complex locking mechanisms. Unlocking these boxes involves a precise sequence of movements, twists, and rotations, turning the process into an interactive and engaging challenge. The goal of this project is to create a puzzle box from scratch while incorporating some of the mechanics from the traditional Japanese puzzle boxes.
