Daily Log:

Day One

I created my webpage

Day Two

I tried to figure out how to use the website and hook up my circuit to it, I started making music

Day Three

I worked on my song some more and figured out how to download my stuff onto the circuit

Day Four

I finished my song, recorded my video, and added some animations and lights

Circuit vid

My video

Music on the circuit

Using the monitors, Adafruit Circuit Playground, the circuit, my iPad, and my brilliant creative mind, I created the song "Washing Machine Heart" by Mitski on the Circuit. I did this because I really enjoy the music and I thought it'd be cool. I used the iPad to record the video of my circuit.
During this process, I learned how to code and make music on the circuit. I also learned how to download code onto the Circuit. I used these skills to make my project.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Global Collaborator because I shared my project on my website to the world. It also tied to Creative Communicator because I creatively communicated the song I like into code and onto the Circuit.
A challenge I overcame on this project was downloading the code onto my circuit. I was able to do it by getting help from friends. I also figured it out by watching a few tutorials and looking it up.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change some of my notes and rhythms. The reason why I would change it is because some of the notes and rhythms didn't match up and didn't sound as accurate as I'd like. Fixing some of my errors would make it better.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Digital Multimedia CTE program at Hastings High School. This is because I could only access it through a screen.
My project connects to careers in coding because I learned how to code. I also learned how to code music and create songs. This could also connect to careers in making music.
