Jenna and Gabby learned the basics of Arduino. They started by learning how to light up an LED and then worked with multiple LEDs at once. They also learned how to use buttons, and they created a project where there were multiple buttons and when a certain one was clicked the corresponding LED would light up.

For this learning module, Jenna, Gabby, and Taryn learn more about how to operate a Microbit Maqueen and be able to teach this material to elementary and middle school girls. They also started to set up the GirlsCodingWithGirls program by taking previous slides from the shared Google Drive they use and creating lessons, and they started making flyers and creating a registration form.
This week, Jenna, Gabby, and Taryn all learned the basics of soldering, using the practice soldering kits that they were given. With this activity, they covered the topics of how to solder, how to properly clean the soldering iron, how to strip wires, how to Desolder something that was soldered wrong, and how to properly solder a circuit board for future learning modules.
For this learning module, Jenna and Alexis worked with App Inventor and Arduino. They used Bluetooth to connect the Arduino to App Inventor, and they were able to control LEDs on the Arduino using App Inventor. They ended up creating a simple app that would ask a question and light up a green LED if the user answered the question correctly and light up a red LED if the user answered the question incorrectly.

For this learning module, Jenna and Dhruv worked with Raspberry Pi. They learned about the basics of the Raspberry Pi, and they were able to tweet with the Twitter Bot through the Raspberry Pi Terminal. They had a list of different quotes, and the Raspberry Pi would tweet a random one when a certain command was put into the terminal.

For this learning module, Jenna and Connor made a food blog using HTML. They first learned HTML and CSS using tutorials from Codecademy. They then created a website using what they had learned from these lessons and they made a food blog. They created a home page with four meals, and they put images with links for each of them. They then have different recipes in each of these categories, and you can click on each of the recipes and you can see how to make all of them.
For this learning module, Jenna, Haru, and Connor worked on the LED board, and their goal was to make an app to interact with the LED board. They worked to fix the board and put working strips on it, and then they connected the strips to an arduino and tried to get the arduino to connect to MIT App Inventor using a Bluetooth module. The app would be programmed to send certain values to the arduino, and depending on what that value was different LEDs would light up. In the end they got the board working, but had a lot of trouble getting it to connect to the app.
