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.

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.

Something I like about Tynker is that there are a lot of different things you can do. This gives you a lot of creative authority and makes the app so much more fun. Something difficult about Tynker is that there are so many blocks and you have to find the right ones. Something I learned is how to make a character have a speech bubble in order to make it seem like its talking.

This week we I did a tynker project called “About Me” this project is a collage of things I like and I coded it. I used a basic actor that was a girl with a ponytail. A block I used repeatedly was a the “when actor touched” block. This was a really helpful to me because it allowed me to control the actors. I didn’t use anything from programming 201 in this project but it really helped me knitwear my way around what i was doing.

In the video “Computer Science is Changing Everything”, One thing I found really interesting was Vidas part. She was talking about medicine and how Computer technology is Changing the medical field. This was something I never really thought corresponded with coding. This kept me thinking about how import  Computer technology is for us.
