Learning Module #1: Arduino
Accomplished with Aaron Dante
Frankie and Aaron learned how to use motion sensors with Arduino and fixed a problem with misplaced wires for Gnd, Echo, Trig, and Vcc. They suggest carefully checking wires to avoid the same issue. They also learned basic Arduino coding and made it work like a rearview camera. Later, they started a color sensor project with the Arduino that worked for green but had trouble recognizing red and blue.
Learning Module #2: Soldering
Worked With Jamie Patino
Frank and Jamie learned the fundamentals of Soldering and learned how to fix mistakes that went wrong. They also gained an understanding of the essential safety precautions required for soldering. even though their board didn't work, they learned to never give up. "One hundred mistakes are an education if you learn something from each one."-Mr. Detrick
Learning Module #3: HTML
Worked with Aaron Dante
Frankie and Aaron learned how to code in HTML, create websites, and use AI for coding support. They figured out how to add images as logos and create buttons to change the website's background color. Overall, they gained a solid understanding of HTML in the short time they had.
Learning Module #4: ASCII
Worked with Natalie Slovak
For the fourth learning module, Frankie and Natalie wanted to create a program that turned an image into ASCII characters. This program would take an image and convert it into a visual representation made entirely of characters. They chose Replit as their platform to develop the program and also used ChatGPT, to guide them through the coding process and solve any challenges they faced along the way.
Learning Module #5: Connect Four
Worked with Aaron Dante
For the fifth learning module, Frankie and Aaron created a Connect Four game in Python. They successfully developed a fully functional program that allows users to play Connect Four. To achieve this, they focused on learning the basics of Python with the help of ChatGPT and YouTube tutorials. They used ChatGPT to help create a detailed Connect Four tutorial, which guided them in building the game.
Learning Module #6: RC Car powered by Arduino
For the 6th Learning Module Frankie decided to work by himself and work on a hands on project that would require a bluetooth connection to move. Although he got the car to move straight and backwards, it had to be plugged into my chromebook to work and no other code worked. Using countless videos and articles to help, he ultimately failed this project but he did learn how RC cars function.
Learning Module #7: Unity
worked with Logan Young
Frankie and Logan worked together in order to create mini games in Unity, such as a pong game and Space Invaders. Frankie and Logan did not find success in both mini games encountering countless errors and Unity deleting the game. Most of these errors/malfunctions occurred towards the end of the Learning Module not giving either Frankie or Logan time to fix. Frankies success was being able to shoot lasers and having all the sprites move.
Learning Module #8: HTML(Part 2)
worked with Aaron Dante
In Learning Module 8 Frankie and Aaron took an idea of spreading the word of God and creating a website using HTML. They created different buttons that provides a Verse of the Day, a mini quiz, their Testimony, and an actual Bible where you can go read. Compared to their first time learning HTML, this time they both had a goal, and that was to spread the word of God.
