Learning Module #1: Soldering with Joyce!!!!! :)
We decided to start off the year with soldering, and began loving it immediately. We started off with a practice board and then started doing the kits, which turned out great!
We didn't get the sound the work, but it was still pretty cool!!!!
*This actually took us less than 30 minutes to solder!!
Learning Module #2: Arduinos with Jimmy!!!!!
Jimmy and I used the Arduino programming software to make LEDs turn on and off, eventually introducing a joystick to turn on only certain lights.
We were trying to figure out how to work the Arduino program on our computers.
We got an LED blinking! Fun!!
Using a joystick to control which LED was on!!
Learning Module #3: 3D Printing with Kaitlyn!!
Learning how to use the 3D printer was a really fun process, and designing our own models to print were a plus! We figured out some key points in using the printer, and after we got the hang of it we were printing things left and right.
They were really cute!! Kaitlyn designed the cats below!
Learning Module #4: Unity Game Design with Kaitlyn!! Again!!!
Kaitlyn and I decided to try making a game using Unity. Although we were not as successful as we had hoped to be, we did end up learning a lot about the software, and learned some C# in the process.
Learning Module #5: Programming the Amazon Alexa with Kayla!!! :)
The Amazon Alexa has so much potential, and we wanted to program our own map for the Escape Room skill.
Learning Module #6: Robotic Arm with Jordan!!
This learning module was very frustrating, but it definitely ended up being worth it in the end. We learned so much about the arm and figured ouyt that there was so much more we could do with it.
Learning Module #7: Robotic Arm with Jordan!! Again!!!!! :)
During our second round with Dusty the robotic arm, we figured out how to write, compile, and send a program the arm.
Learning Module #8: Learning and Programming Swift featuring me, myself, and I!!! :)
