For the first learning module, Aidan worked with the Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor to turn on and off certain lights depending on how far away an object was.

During this learning module, Aidan worked with the Arduino, ultrasonic sensor, and a relay to turn a lamp on and off whenever a hand or object would pass over the sensor.

For this learning module, Aidan worked with a Raspberry Pi which is basically an Arduino but way better. He wrote a program that whenever a button was pressed, a camera would take a picture, save it to the computer, and then send an email to whoever he wanted with the image and the exact date and time the picture was taken along with any message he would put.

During this learning module, Aidan worked with APIs. An API allows you to go onto a site and grab specific information that your site or program would want to use such as the exact number of mail you have in your gmail or the amount of followers you have on instagram. Aidan used a weather API to get the weather from any city inside or outside the United States and display it on a 16x2 lcd display. (Picture on the right is the code which is written in python and the weather conditions when run for Hackettstown New Jersey)

For this learning module Aidan created a chatbot. A chatbot is basically an AI (artificial intelligence) that gives you responses based on whatever a user inputs. It went from a bot that you could talk to about anything to one that could be used to talk to someone who was sad or depressed. The chatbot was created on a site called repl.it and in Java. (Image to the left is a conversation a user had with the chatbot)

During this learning module, Aidan O'Leary worked with Alex Stannek to create a room in VR. We used Google's Oculus Quest 2 along with Alex's pc to create the playing space. Using Unreal Engine, we were able to re-create Alex's bedroom in VR and we were able to walk around and towards the end of the project, we started to try to pick things up but it was a bit buggy.

For learning module number seven, Aidan O'Leary worked with Alex Stannek to create a smart doorbell. Using a raspberry pi, a camera, a buzzer, and button along with coding in python, they were able to create a door bell that would notify a person if someone is at there door with pictures and the time that the door bell was pressed.
