Day 10

Day 10: 6/15/18 1. Provide an overview of your project/artifact. My project was a mystery game in python where you find the murderer, the weapon, and the reason why the murder happened. ( For example, I designed a video game using Scratch programming where the player, or snowman, has to catch 5 snowflakes and avoid the flying flames. ) 2. What did you plan to learn from your project? Did you meet this target? I learned more python than I did originally. Yes I did meet my target. 3. What computer science concepts did you use in your project? (Variables, loops, conditional statements, functions, lists/arrays, methods, etc.)        I used variables, loops, conditional statements, functions, and arrays. 4. What computational thinking principles did you use in your project? (Abstraction, algorithms, correctness, efficiency, iteration or loop statements, variables, etc.) I used algorithms, loop statements, and variables. 5. How does your pr...

Day 9

Day 9: 6/14/18 What have you already done with computing and technology? Include what you did these last two weeks. I have already coded some games, made a lilypad painting including sound, lights, and a button, and I have coded a mystery game. Describe your Interest in Computing and Technology. My interest in computing and technology is creating new things that people enjoy or find useful in their daily life. Describe ANY leadership positions you have had in school and/or community. Leadership positions I have had are in girl scouts and in orchestra. Describe your career goals in detail. What do you want to accomplish? Why is your career goal important to you? I want to become a scientist. This is important to me because I enjoy learning how things work. I also want to possibly have a career in performance because I enjoy making music and I helps me with stress levels and I enjoy playing music for people. Define a problem that is currently a problem in the world. How ...

Day 8

Define a problem that is currently a problem in the world. How could technology solve the problem? A problem in the world is gun safety. Technology could solve this problem by helping detect the weapon and being able to regulate the weapons better than humans could.  

Day 7/animal

Day 2: Describe your Career goals in detail. What do you want to accomplish? Why is your career goal important to you? My career goal is to do something in science. My career goal is important to me because I enjoy science and learning how the universe works. I also want to possibly have a side career in music because I enjoy playing music. Fun Blog Prompt:  If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? If I could be any animal I would be an octopus because they are one of the most intelligent animals and they can hide from people with camouflage and can escape their tanks just because they saw something they wanted to play with.

Day 6/ random fact

Describe ANY leadership positions you have had in school and/or community. I have helped lead my girl scout troop. Continue answering: --What have you already done with computing and technology? (Can include what you are currently doing) I have programed games and made projects in lilypad arduino. --Describe your Interest in Computing and Technology. Why you came to this camp? I came to this came to get a fun opportunity to learn more programing platforms. What you want to get out of it? I want to learn more programing platforms and do projects I could not do at home What have you already accomplished in computing and technology? I have accomplished making some games and making animations and used lilypad arduino. What might you do with computing and technology in the future? I might use my programming knowledge to help me in my future career. FUN Blog Prompt:  What is a random fact about you? A random fact about me is that I own my own telescop...

Day 5

Day 5: Describe your Interest in Computing and Technology. For example, you can answer the following questions: Why you came to this camp? What you want to get out of it? What have you already accomplished in computing and technology? What might you do with computing and technology in the future? I came to this camp because I enjoy getting the opportunity to code and learn new things. I want to get more coding experience out of the camp.

Day 4/ talking

Day 4: What have you already done with computing and technology? ( Continue to add to this question throughout the week) I have already programed a few games, and made a few lilypad projects, and learned how to do things with strings in java with computing and technology. **Fun Blog Post** If you could talk to any person, alive or dead, who would it be, and what would you talk about? If I could talk to any person I would talk to the first producer of doctor who. I would get to know her.
