Logan and I researched and programmed using python. Our goal was to understand the similarities and differences between python and java and complete a program in python. We were able to compute the distance between two points using math functions in Python.

Noah and I pieced together and soldered an entire circuit board. It was my first time soldering so I also learned all of the necessary safety measures and precautions. We were able to achieve our end goal of getting the speaker to sound. In the process of reaching our goal we also learned to desolder.

Stephanie and attached an arduino to a breadboard and programmed the arduino to do various different tasks. We worked with making LED lights flash, using a pushbutton, and having different colored lights blink depending on how far an object was from a distance sensor. Learning to set up and code the arduino was very useful and fun.

Jake and I created a coloring page app using App Inventor. The app had three different pen colors and an wipeable screen. We designed the layout and coded the features of the app, and then we were able to download it onto a Samsung tablet. We brought the app to Coding With Kids and The Middle School's Hour Of Code for younger students to enjoy!

Logan and I built a car from scratch using a kit with motors, wheels, a base, and a battery pack. We attached an arduino, motorshield, and bluetooth module so that the wheels could be controlled by an app.

Jake and I planned a library showcase to talk about our computer science program here at Warren Hills. The showcase explained the different classes we offer, statistics about computer science careers, featured many projects from our advanced topics class, and much more. There was also a survey at the end of the presentation that gathered information about students who wish to take computer science courses in the future!

Jamie and I learned how to control the Finch Robots using both Java and Scratch! Once we learned about the Finch we created a lesson plan for younger students to follow along. This can be used for the Warren Hills lending library, Coding With Kids, etc.
