Tynker Music Video

I am choosing to write about Zoe’s music video. I liked it because her characters looked liked they were actually dancing, not just doing random things. What I liked about the animation is that she not only made the characters move, but she also made the background change, which was cool and it makes the video more interesting. What I liked about the soundtrack was that it kind of had a bouncy effect to it, and one of her characters was bouncing, so it made sense. Overall, it looked and sounded really good.

All About Me Project

To start off my All About Me project, I first chose a background. The background I chose was a soccer field because I love playing soccer and I have a lot of special memories on the soccer field.

Then, I had to chose the characters that I wanted to use. The characters I chose were a soccer ball, a basketball, a piano, a clarinet, a picture of my dog, a sea shell, and pictures of two girls and a boy. I chose a soccer ball because as I said before, I love playing soccer. I chose a basketball because I also love playing basketball. I chose a piano because I play piano. I chose a clarinet because I play clarinet. I chose a picture of my dog because she means a lot to me. I chose a sea shell because I really love traveling and going to the beach, and I chose to put the pictures of two girls and a boy to represent me being one of the girls as a middle child, having an older brother, and a younger sister.

Then I programmed the characters to say things. For example, when I clicked the soccer ball, it would say, “I love playing soccer.” You can imagine what the rest of them said.

Then, I decided that I should add sounds to the characters too when you click them. So, I started looking for sounds that would match the characters. I found sounds for some of them, but not all. So for example when the soccer ball was clicked, it would say “I love playing soccer.”, and then a crowd cheering noise would play (as if someone had scored a goal). You can also imagine now what sounds the rest of the characters played. But again, not all of them do play a sound.

And finally, the project was finished! Some blocks I found myself using a lot were “when actor clicked”, “say ____” and “play sound _____”. Overall, I think the project was a success and I hope you enjoyed reading about it!

Computer Science Is Changing Everything

Computer science really is changing everything. I would never have thought that computer technology is used in agriculture. I just thought that the farmers plant the seeds and let them grow. It turns out there is much more to that. Computer science has made it more possible to produce great crops. Without it, lots of crops wouldn’t have come out as well. I learned that people can use computer science to monitor how well the plants are doing. This allows the farmers to know whether the plants need more water, sun, etc, evidently leading to more batches of good crops, and providing more produce for people to eat.
