In my project, I made one about social studies and Ancient Egypt, which is what we are studying in social studies now. I made mine so that it would show the score at the end, and was trying to make something that people could review basic facts of. I looked at some others and I liked Walker’s project because I liked how the background and the actor matched.

I liked the AB music video. I liked it because of the way the characters hopping was in rhythm to the beat. The animation was in sync with the audio, which added to the effect even more. I also liked how the soundtrack fit with the characters. The characters seemed to be silly cartoons, and the music was something I thought you would hear in a cartoon like what the dancers might show up in.

In Programming 201, I completed the introduction. I like the simplicity of Tynker and how anyone can learn regardless of their previous experience. I didn’t find much to be difficult. I also learned how to use the ‘glide to x: __ y: __ in __ seconds’ block, and included it in my About Me project.

The About Me project tells people who see it a little about my hobbies and what I like. I used the ‘When tapped, say _____ for __ seconds’ often because it allowed people to tap and move on, rather than restart the project and tap something else. I also included a small easter egg of an acorn that would go flying if you tapped it. I thought that was fun.

For me, it was very astounding how at this point in the human story, coding is almost as important as learning how to read. I always thought we were at an in between, but now I realize that we’re actually at that point. It’s amazing to think that once, we humans were just learning to farm. This statement, although small compared to the rest of the video, is what made me actually able to realize the point the video was trying to get across: that coding and computer science isn’t the future; it’s the now.
