10/9 Activity

  By Noah Kurtz • October 9, 2020

As I collected the data from five different cities around the country, I noticed that Sprint and T-Mobile cover a lot of the countries wireless cell phone coverage. One thing that stood out to me was the difference in upload speed between the two companies, as T-Mobile leads that category in every city that I recorded data from. The city that should receive network improvements and funding is Atlanta, because out of my five cities, Atlanta had the largest gap between download speeds between both Sprint and T-Mobile of 8.6 Mbps. If both Sprint and T-Mobile want to get to where Verizon and AT&T are at, they’re going to have to increase and improve their overall upload and download speeds.

FINAL ECAP REVIEW

  By Noah Kurtz • April 26, 2019 , , ,

As the ECAP project comes to an end we all learned valuable lessons in our environment. For starters, it really was amazing to all of us how much trash is surrounding the city of Reading. Going through our cleanups we were attending, the trash you see really puts taking care of our earth into deep perspective. Change needs to happen, and it starts with us young people to carry out the next generations of humans.

 

SERVICE HOURS

Noah – 4 hours helping out with Earth Fest, as well as 2 hours and 30 minutes towards a cleanup at Olivet River Trail I attended and did an hour of setting up the gymnasium with Dr. Kazempour for the Reading Elementary 5th graders.

Julia – 4 hours helping out with Earth Fest, as well as a cleanup for 4 hours.

Matt – 2 hours with a cleanup, 2 hours going around homes in Reading asking people to fill out surveys, and 4 hours in a city park mulching and replanting flowers
