Ellis island was a good historical experience. I learned many things, and I thiknk that will contribute to my education in the future. Anyways, I didn’t really enjoy the trip as a fin place, but historically it was. Very good experience for me to see. Here are some things that’s I like about the trip:

    Statue of Liberty:

I liked the Statue of Liberty because it was a very good historical experience, and for me to see it with my own eyes, it made a very good experience, and helped me understand what the immigrants emotionally felt during the process of the steamship ride, and how they all were so glad to see a statue, and how much the Statue of Liberty made them feel. This made me very happy and proud for all of the immigrants journey to their new life that awaited them.

    Generally, I think that Ellis Island once again was a very good experience, and although the Ferry rides and the bus rides weren’t good, but I feel like the education behind the trip was worth it.

I have noticed that the restaurant was very interesting and exposed my class to be more open to other cultures. The peruvian culture was very interesting because of the different food style that is different from what I encounter in my daily life, and seeing people’s reaction and exception to taking great food, (from their opinions) which made the waters happy and open to new people accepting and greatly enjoying what they propose. Why I am writing this in more of a third person style is eaue of my allergies, I wasn’t actually bale to eat the food.  But seeing everyone else’s reaction and maturity to trying other cultures food and being open to other cultures made me open to the experience.

Generally speaking, it was a great experience, everyone was polite, and it made me have an emotional connection to the new culture that I was exposed to.

My third coding project was on Tynker, called the Platformer game. I decided to make it using the fundamentals of what Tynker provides, and then experiment and create further. Because of how Tynker conceptually layed out the project, I had an easy time interpreting which blocks to use, but also more importantly, not having to gave Tynker come down to its disadvantage by not having a couple of desired toggles for the user. What I mean by that is because earlier in my Tynker experience their were a couple of fundamental blocks that Tynker lacked that Scratch had, or didn’t lack. That generally in the coding language make it easier to access understanding of how to code. This made it easier for me to follow the guidelines without having to worry about a specific toggle not being their. It had some code in the start front he Tynker fundamental structures, but then I experimented and customized the game so that it would be more authentic, and interesting at the same time, which generally I think made the book interesting.
Anyways, generally using the same principles that Tynker provides and now that I am expanding my knowledge of the coding language has now enabled me to create more authentic and interesting games at the same time. This blog post was short, but I think that it will get the message pretty clearly to the reader. Here is the game:

Hello. My name is Aidan. My coding experience so far covering my two basic projects has been stressful, but at the same time enabled me to more deeply how really everything technology related operates, but obviously in a less sophisticated manner. My first project I did on Tynker, it was about when you touch an animal, it makes various songs. The instruction manual was very good by the means of how it really helped me with understanding the newly introduced coding language. It explained it in a very inspirational way, which encouraged me to continue to share my ideas by coding, and rally made me just feel good about coding. The stressful part was troubleshooting the problems that I encountered a lot of times. I became very addicted with making it so perfect that it was too time consuming, but the good thing is that I was very determined to complete my goal.

In general, my first project was really nice because the way I was introduced to the coding language, and the determination that evolved from Tynker to complete my goal. So far I am loving this coding experience with Tynker! this is my game that I made:

The last project for my coding project that I mad 4 is simply called the ping game. I chose this name because the objective is to using your mouse, to be able to use the green bar to control the ling pong ball, and not let the ping pong ball touch the ground. I called it the pong game because the general objective was related to the nae, “pong”. Anyways, there was a lto of elaboration in the form of coding implanted into this game. First, I used a asic Scratch guideline to help clearly direct the position that I desired to follow so tba i would have a clear objective on how I wanted to move forward with this game.

Then, I decided to put some other aspects in the game such as airplanes, and also have the bar that you use to keep the ball from hitting the lava so that you don’t die and then I made a health bar for the bar. The objective is that you have to avoid the enemies, and avoid the enemies 20 times, before you lose all of your health and you lose the entire game. There was some more advanced coding, but this blog post is more reflecting on how over the course of time, I was able to do more exciting and more sophisticated projects, because in general when I started this project I don’t know how to code.

I generally feel good because how I have progressed through a large and fancy timeline, which really helped me in general be a better coder, and how technology and Software engineering generally relates to our world and more explicitly and clearly in the future. In general this project was sometimes origin because of how time consuming it was, but in general all of the work paid off because it was another big aspect of the technological word, which generally speaking I love when it is related to Apple. I have had a great experience during this coding project. Here is the embedded game link:

I think that my ignite presentation was very descriptive,and the presence of me was very good in terms of how I spoke. I was very nervous, but looking back I didn’t look nervous at all. I felt like I showed some natural presenting skills and the general style was very constant, and kept the viewers interested. I also think that the hard work paid off. I am used to presenting and speaking in front of a lot of other people, I was able to use that statistical standpoint to my advantage, especially because i just imagined that the audience was not their. In the Keynote presentation that  did to my family over Christmas break, I was presenting in front of more people than this cass, and I realized that it was the experience of learning for the audience, and their was really nothing to be worried about because the people that are watching are here to learn, and by presenting an interesting topic, they will enjoy it. It doesn’t matter if you mess up a little bit, because the audience has no idea on hat commentign looks like. Anyways, I have had a t of experience presenting in front of large audiences, (even in piano recitals!) and that has made me less nervous, and especially because realizing that the audience is on your side. Despite all that I think that I did well, their were a few aspects that I could improve on for the future, such as:

• Incorporating the audience in the presentations to make it more interesting
• Smoother transitions (just timewise, because I kept talking when I planned to say the content on the next slide)

Generally speaking, I think that I did a good job because I sowed some natural presenting skills,a and I also really worked hard, which payed off well. Here is my video, and the comments for my Ignite presentation, and also the feedback that I got from my classmates. Check it out:
