Blog Post #5 – Flashlight

Today October 21 I finished my flashlight. It was a lot of fun to cut my PBC pipe and solder my circuit. Mr. Calvert gave me a flashlight, a switch and a battery. We also had to cut wires and strip the ends for the inside of our circuit it was a lot of fun making my flashlight. Have a great day!

Blog post #4 – Flashlight design

Today October 13 I’ve finished the design of my flashlight. My design has 3 wires and 2 pipes. It was challenging to make my graph the proper size of my actual flashlight but I got the hang of it. I had fun designing my flashlight even though it was difficult and I’m looking forward to making my final flashlight. Have a great day everyone.

Blog Post #3 – Switches

It is October 7 2021 and I’ve just finished and played the game for my 3 switches I’ve made. It was a lot of fun making my switches and I really enjoyed it. My first switch was a button made with a pencil, my second switch was a spinning wheel and my 3rd and final switch was a lever. It was a lot of fun playing the game with my classmates and I had a great time. I messed up 2 times on my turn on and finished in 53 seconds. Have a great day everyone

Technology Post #2 – Jewelry Keychain

Today, September 22 2021 We started to make the design of the Jewelry after we finished making the border of the keychain. It was a lot of fun to make the border and I managed to get it down pretty good. I haven’t done to much for my design inside the border but so far its been extremely hard to make my design. I’m looking forward to working more on my design and getting it done.

Technology Post #1 – Atoms

On Friday September 10 we talked about atoms in class. It was very interesting to learn about what they are and how small they really are, not even the biggest microscope can see atoms. If you have a grapefruit it would have to be the size of earth to be able to see the atoms. If you turned a atom into the size of a blueberry and then broke open the blueberry you would still not be able to see the protons and neutrons because there still to small. To be able to see the protons and neutrons the atom would have to be the size of a entire football stadium! Then the protons and neutrons would be the size of a marble on the middle of the 50 yard line. I really enjoyed this lesson and it was very informative.

Looking Back At Capstone (Blog Post #3)

Finally! I finished capstone, I really enjoyed researching and working on my project. The hardest part of my capstone presentation was finding pictures to match with different slides and making them fit together. The easiest part of my capstone project was memorizing my script and presenting it. Overall I really liked working on capstone and making the presentation and it was lots of fun.

Capstone Interview (Blog Post #2)

For my Capstone, I’m doing Rasberry Pi’s, and my main question is, “What is a raspberry pi” For my capstone interview I interviewed David Ziman A Computer Science graduate from Tulane who uses Rasberry pis a lot and knows much about them. He gave me lots of information about the components of a Rasberry pi how a Rasberry pi works and much more. To me, the interview was very helpful with my projects and I really enjoyed learning more about Rasberry pis.

Capstone Main Idea (Blog Post #1)

I’ve been thinking on what my capstone project should be and I’ve finally came to the conclusion that I’m going to make my capstone on raspberry pi’s. My main question for my project will be “what is a raspberry pi” and in the presentation I plan to cover what a raspberry pi is it’s uses and more.

The challenging part of this was thinking what I can talk about with raspberry pi’s. And how to word it so someone who had no clue what a raspberry pi was would understand and learn from my presentation.

I’ve had a lot of fun working on my project and can’t wait to do more!
