Computer Science is Changing Everything – A video overview – Pt 1 (Comp Tech)

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.

Ending Rocketry – Launch Two

Alas, the rocketry unit has come to a close. We launched our newly developed rocket into the air. On a terribly windy day and cold, we took our supplies and headed into the launch zone. After using trundle wheels to mark where we were going, assigned people put the launch pad down and attached everything to everything. Then we launched. 19 meters!!! 5 more meters than the last launch, we found our newly made nose cone helpful in developing a better rocket. Expedition mars has succeeded!!!

Rocketry has been a REALLY fun unit. From doing research to being on the field counting down, I loved it all! Even though our rocket didn’t go very far, we still had fun. I’d like to thank my wonderful group for being amazing teammates. I would also like to thank Mr. Casals for helping me with Rocketry videos and all of that. Mrs. Robert as the one actually setting up the launch. Last thank you, all of you!

I made a video documenting ALL the things my team and I did. Here it is!
