Connor D

Learning Module #1

Learning How to Solder

For the first learning module Connor D and Dhruv D learned how to solder using one of Mr. Detrick's class kits, and watching youtube tutorials

Learning Module #2

Learning How to Use an Arduino

For the second learning module Connor D and Dom B used Mr Detrick's Arduino kits and an online software to learn how to program an Arduino and a breadboard. They completed different programming tasks throughout the 5 day learning module.

Learning Module #3

Learning How to 3D Print

For this learning module Connor D and Nate A learned how to 3D print, by experimenting, watching tutorials, and a lot of google searching. This was probably an all around favorite module. We printed a Dinosaur with a hard hat and an elephant. This module felt the most rewarding, because we were able to keep a physical object of what we had accomplished.

This is a picture of one of many failed attempts of trying to print the dinosaur.

Learning Module #4

Converting Old Operating Systems to New

This was the first 10 day learning module, and Connor D, Dhruv D, and Nate A all worked together to take old computers with poorly working operating systems and put either Chrome OS or Linux on them. That was step one, step two was figuring out where to donate them and how to do it. We are collecting computers from around the school from staff and students and upgrading those as well. The goal is to donate these newly working computers to low income family's or organizations in need. We are going to donate them to Family Promise in Oxford, Nj and Habitat for Humanity in Washington, Nj.

Dom B and his partner Haru were trying to use Minecraft without the firewalls, so they used Sarah Detrick's computer that we put Linux Mate on.

Learning Module #5

Raspberry Pi

Connor and Gabby used a Raspberry Pi to create a RetroPie

arcade machine

Learning Module #6

Learning Module #7

Learning Module #8

2D Unity Game

For this project Connor worked alone on making a 2D unity game. He followed a tutorial and then made his own game. In his game you can move around, the character is animated, and you can collect cherries. every movement of the character is animated as well as the cherry.

Learning Module #9

Gamemaker

For this learning module Connor and Dhruv worked together on doing tutorial and messing with the program. With the final goal of teaching how to use gamemaker at the 2022 Hackathon. Connor followed the firejump tutorial until the end and almost completed the entire thing.

This is a picture of the completed project where it was basically a fully functioning game.
