This 5 day module involved me and Jason learning the basics of using and coding an arduino.
This 5 day module had Michael and I learn how to solder through the use of a basic/practice soldering kit. We created a siren and lights that blinks and plays a noise when powered by a battery.
In this 5 day module, Xander and I decided that it would be productive for him to learn python (he had no prior knowledge), and for me to learn more about Python as I had some past experience with it. We followed along several tutorials and tried to do what were essentially AP Computer Science problems through python.
In this 8 day learning module Bryan, Michael and I worked to create a custom Alexa skill that we could run on an Amazon Alexa. We learned about working with Amazon Web Services and Amazon Developer to code and create our own skill. We ultimately created a skill that would print out a fake fact about the solar system when prompted
In this 8 day learning module Jason and I decided we wanted to learn about machine learning, so we coded a variant of tic tac toe in python using the pygame library and planned on implementing a neural network to learn by playing against itself and then seeing if it could perform well against human opponents. As well as pygame we utilized tensorflow and numpy, which are libraries intended for uses in machine learning ad neural networks.
In this 12 day learning module Liz and I created a Java program that was capable of logging into genesis, a service Warren Hills uses to post grades, and read the grades on the page. It would copy the html off the grading page, and compare the grade info to a txt. save of the grade info during the previous check. If it detected a difference it could send an email to the student that a grade had been updated.
