Hello everybody! Today I am going to be talking about the program Tynker, and what we are doing with it. I am in the Computer Technology quarterly at my middle school, and we are using a program called Tynker to make it. Tynker is like a kids block based coding app where kids learn how to code and stuff. Anyways, it’s pretty easy. For class we have to build an about me page, where it shows different facts about ourselves. I put little people up on the screen, and coded stuff so that they would show a fact about me when clicked. It went somewhat like this.
when actor clicked
Say “I have a cat,” for 3 seconds
Of course I don’t really remember what I put, but we don’t have to talk about that. Anyways, I put around 4-5 people on my thing and called it a day. Overall it was pretty easy, but it is a good learning experience.
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and there is so much I need to talk about. But I will do that in another post. Today I will be reviewing a video called, “Computer Science is Changing Everything,” and talking about a specific part of the video.
The video has a couple parts, each talking about how computers have affected the industry. Today I will talk about the agriculture part of it. The video interviews a person who has built a software to monitor lettuce crops, and improve the amount of lettuce harvested. What I find intriguing is that agriculture is one of the most important industries in the world, and it is really important to our society. The fact that we can automate our crop management, and have a computer nurture to each crop. The “Lettuce Bot” is used in the video to see and manage 1.5 million crops. Now that is a lot of crops. If we can use this technology for crops in the world, thousands of peoples lives will be changed, and farming will become much less taxing. This is one of the many examples the video states, and it is truly a wonder what computers can do.
I will follow up on some of the things that I’ve been doing in another post.
I hope you all are well.
