Technology of softball

My favorite sports is softball. Something cool about softball is that there is a lot of hidden technology in it. A softball bat is a class 3 lever. When you hit the ball the batter is putting in the effort. The fulcrum point of the bat is towards the top middle of the bat and is where the bat curves. The load would be the ball because that is the form of mass coming at you at a high speed. When you swing the bat all of these components make the ball go the opposite way fast.

Swift playgrounds

This week in school I made a code with swift playground. The code asked a bunch of questions about the person who was interacting with it. It asked questions like: What is your name?, What’s your favorite color? And whats your favorite animal?. This was really fun because I could make a way to respond to the people with things like “thats so cool!” And “thats a pretty color” this made it more personal. This weeks learning of how to use swift playgrounds was overall really fun because I could create codes and I could also code my way around a swift playgrounds game.

 

 

 

 

Blog post 4/7

When watching the video, Kira showed me how much fun and cool it is to create your own app. She was really special in the video because she is younger and her story is more relatable. She told us how when making an app all she had to do was some codes and she had a real app in the App Store. Then she told us how proud she was of this achievement. This really made me think about how cool it would be to have your own app that you created available for millions to play.
