2025-2026 Year update: I'm in 8th Grade now, and I've finally gained motivation to pick this website back up, with whatever time i have available to me. I'm doing well, and I recently got my very own DSLR camera, and maybe i'll upload them to my "Fun things" Page

Hello, my name is Derick Lau and sister to Amy Lau, which previously attended here. I'm a student at DATA Magnet Program at Ed White middle school. This is a website to show what I created during my tech classes and my core classes during my time at DATA . I might also do updates after 7th Grade, every once and awhile, but i'm not sure about that yet. DATA stands for Design and Technology Academy, where we work with various programs to design stuff and learn more about tech.
HEADERS FOR SIXTH GRADE
Some of the headers used in this portfolio were the Adobe Firefly AI tools, which is completely free, and you can generate a texture with a prompt specifically for text to use as headers, or logos in their websites/videos.
The other 2D headers were made with Photoshop, with outer Glow and stroke used in some of them. The Backgrounds of them were made using gradients, then dragging their appearance the mix the color to the way we like.
One of the headers in 3D models is made in SketchUp, with the text being made with the" 3D Text" and you simply have to type and place the text once it has been created. To add differentiating color, make two lines separately, then use the paint bucket tool to paint the text what color you please.

Here are some quick access buttons!
Here are the Links to the resources I used:
The reason of this website's existence was because of our 6th Grade Multimedia teacher, Mr. Hicks, and this is his webpage: Michael Hicks
He also runs the Datatech studio website (Datatech studio GOOGLE) and the older version here: Datatech studio WEEBLY
Here you can report any website errors to me. Do not be afraid to tell me something is wrong! I will gratefully see what errors I have made and fix them, to make this website better, as I have spend lots of time working on this and you can help me, by giving feedback and notifying me about errors.
apparently, the computers in Mr. Hick's class have 32gb of ram, while Mr. Gonzalez's computers have 16. (idk why I'm saying this but...) possibly for blender, adobe programs, etc.
Here is a live view of all the respones on the form and whether if I have checked them or not.
