Learning Module 1: Arduino
Jamie worked with Natalie S and learned the basic code and wiring of the Arduino. Linking lights, sensors, and beepers, they were able to add aspects on the Arduino to get different functions resembling a car’s reverse sensor.
Learning Module 2: Soldering
Jamie and Frankie C learned the basics of soldering and how to fix it when they messed up. They also learned the important safety requirements to solder. When their board didn’t work in the end, it showed them the reality of Mr. Detrick's iconic quote: “One hundred mistakes are an education if you learn something from each one”.

Jamie P and Natalie S first learned how to use makecode for programming. Jamie learned how to use the micro bit for the first time starting off with makecode tutorials. Her final project was making an inchworm.
Learning Module 4: Unity
Jamie and John’s goals for this learning module was to learn how to use unity to create a game and how to program in c#. To do so they watched a tutorial video to help guide them through the process of creating Flappy Bird. The tutorial introduced them to the game mechanics, player controls, and game physics. They carefully followed along to ensure successfully replicating this game.

Learning Module 5: Tetris
The goal is to relearn the basics of python from Intro to CS and then expand on it. She wants to get comfortable with the code and to not rely on tutorials to remember how to code each line. Learning to import different shapes and systems into python from pygame is a valuable skill. In the end, Jamie wants to create a fully functional game that the player can play and understand with ease while also being enjoyable.
Learning Module 6: Class Counter
When Jamie and John first started this learning module they had a clear goal of making a “class counter”, this would work by using lasers and LDRs, and depending on which sensor was triggered first it would either increase if someone is entering the room or decrease if someone is leaving. Overall, John and Jamie were able to get to their goal of making a class counter. Even though they were unsuccessful with the LCD screen, their counter works when just printing in the serial monitor. Learning more about the Arduino, switches, and 3D printing, they felt as though they had a very successful learning module.
Learning Module 7: Unity
Natalie created a balloon popping game and Jamie ended up with an unplayable tower defense game. But, neither of them gave up with Unity. Even though neither of them enjoyed the learning module, they both learned several aspects of both Unity and perseverance.
