Anu and Isaac worked to gain a basic understanding of Arduinos by trying to get one to read input and convert that input into movement of a motor.
Isaac and Aidan practiced soldering by first doing a starter kit that included some LEDs and a buzzer, and then soldering a seeduino protoboard.
Anu and Isaac learned some basic competitive programming concepts to use in their future endeavors. They covered things like depth first searches, rectangle geometry and time complexity. They used problems from the high school programming competition USACO.
Jackson and Isaac learned how to develop a website with HTML, JavaScript and CSS. They used their newfound knowledge to create a basic clicker game, to practice what they'd learned. They created the website in repl.it to work collaboratively.
Disha and Isaac made a self-driving Arduino car that used ultrasonic sensors to view it's surroundings. The car used an Arduino to control itself and some motors to steer itself and is built on a 3d printed base.
Anu and Isaac made a hovercraft with four side motors and one center motor that was controlled by an Arduino and through a Bluetooth app. All of the components, including the propellers were 3d printed and were bolted together.
Walter and Isaac made Unity game that had a custom made controller to go along with it. The game was a racing one consisting of a car on a track and the car was accelerated by shaking the controller and steered using the joystick on the controller. The controller was made of a joystick and accelerometer connected to an Arduino which then communicated serial outputs to a computer through a USB cable.
Anu and Isaac made a bot using node.js that could fight human players in Minecraft. The bot can equip armor, run towards the player and can switch between attacking the player with a sword or healing himself with a potion depending on the context.
