Tanya Harrison – Google Hangout

Last class, we were able to have a Google Hangout with Tanya Harrison – who is a student in Geology at the university of Ontario. Tanya is specializing in planetary science. Tanya is also a professional photographer. Our class was able to ask Tanya question about what she is doing. Athena and I asked Tanya “What is the hardest part about her job?” – Tanya responded with “The hardest part about my job is learning and remembering all of the terms and parts of a rover.” In this Google Hangout, I think Athena and I took a risk by asking Tanya such a hard question, but Tanya was still able to come up with a great answer. Even though I was only able to ask Tanya 1 question, it was still really interesting to hear my classmates ask Tanya their own question, and learn more about Tanya and here job. Here below, I have embed the a bit of the Google Hangout so you are able to see.

  1. Here I have the video chat with Karishma. We were able to do the chat on google hangout.
  2. During the Google Hangout, my class and I were able to come up with question to ask Karishma Bhagani. Karishma is from Mombasa, Kenya. She also attends NY University. Karishma has created a water filter for the people in Kenya to have clean drinking water. During this experience I felt very fortunate to have clean drinking water. I also felt very lucky to talk to Karishma and hear why she wanted to do this.
  3. -How would you feel when you accomplish your goal of having clean drinking water in Kenya? How did the idea come to you of creating a filter for clean drinking water? How many people in Kenya have the water filter you have created? What is the next thing you want to do for everyone in Kenya after the water filter?
  4. What I have learned from the chat is that Karishma is very dedicated to what she does. Karishma is a very hard working and will fight for what is best for Kenya. Here are some of the answer to the question. How would you feel when you accomplish your goal of having clean drinking water in Kenya? – Karishma said “I would feel like I’m on top of the world!!”. One question that stood out to me was “Do you think that the country Kenya is over looked? – “Many different developing countries in Asia or Africa are over looked.”
