So today, instead of our morning class we went on a bus to UCSD. It was a very nice looking place. Everything we heard about and saw, I was interested in! Some of my favorite things were the amazing bear statue, the very funny, yet suspenseful-looking hou...
Hi, this is my first post. I have just went on a field trip with my STE[+a]M camp onto the UCSD campus.Calit2 showed us a literal surround-sound theater, and a look inside hemoglobin in “the cave”, a collection of screens that made it so ...
Today we went to UCSD. I liked the 4k projecter. I loved going into the cave and when we went in tunnel expeditons. I thought that the snake path and the bear were very interesting. I found the silent tree and the singing tree fascinating. But, I had a gr...
Today, we skipped out on our morning class and went to a field trip to the USCD supercomputer lab! We rode there on a bus, and went into the lab. First, we watched a movie and a giant movie screen. The resolution was 4x HD!!! We watched a high resolution ...
So… we went to USCD today. It was fun, I guess. Except for that long walk, it was fun. I hope I get into that college if and when I apply. After the bus ride, we went to the Auditorium. It was like a movie theater, except better. If all cinemas were...
Today we programmed ultrasound sensors. We were able to get the ultrasound sensors to sense our movement and give us the distance from the sensors our hands were, but we failed to get the LED to grow brighter or darker. Ultimately it was a cool and helpf...
Today in DIY Robotics we learned about ultrasound sensors. Well, not just Ultrasound sensors, but mainly ultrasound sensors. We built an ultrasound sensor that actually worked except I couldn’t do my own because the laptops weren’t working. Ov...
Today in DIY we learned about energy and power. We learned about all of their forms, shapes, and sizes. after that, we tested if ultrasound sensors were working using the serial monitor. Then, we used ultrasound sensors to turn on and off LEDs dependi...
Today we learned about different forms of energy. This was a very stimulating part of our class today, as we learned about various calculations and properties of energy. Aside from the standard e=mc squared, we learned that power = amps*volts, or P=iV, wa...
Today in DIY Robotics, to start off, we listened to a lecture. Todays, lecture was about different types of energy. We learned some mathematical formulas, including Einstein’s e=mc sqared, and the Power equation, which was P = iJ. We learned about l...
Monday-9th On Monday, we had an intro to robots, and learned what machines or objects could be consider robots. One example was the quadcopter. It consisted of four mini helicopter blades that could spin faster or slower depending on where it had to go. A...
my first week in my arduino class was enriching beyond my imagination. my favorite teacher is mr.carlos. the most interesting thing i saw this week was the nanoquadrators. when i grow up i would like to become a nanoscientist. the field of nano science in...
July 13, In today’s class I learned how to control an LED light with an ultrasound sensor. First I download a test code which tested the ultrasound sensor. Then I downloaded the program to control the LED light with the sensor but, there was a probl...
This week was incredibly fun, we got to do many hands-on projects, such as wiring an ultrasound sensor to the Arduino and having it control an LED. On Monday, we got to know each other and had a lecture about robotics, in other words, an intro to robotics...
Today we learned about infered sensors in s lecture about them. Then in the lab I was able to not only change brightness of an LED with the sensor, but also change the blinking speed of 4 alternating LEDs, It was hard, but it was rewarding at the end.
Today in Creative Computing after a week of learning the basics we finally started to animate in processing. We started the day by learning how to create loops (this is going to save me a ton of time when making my Pac Man circuit) . Then we learned some ...
during this week, i have learned a lot such as how to place shapes and how to use different shapes. when our class began, i said i hoped to learn how to program and make an animation. We learned how to use different modes and learning new ways to make sha...
Day 5 Today, we learned about for-loops and continuous modes. We started interacting with the program using computer mice and making shapes move around and change color with every swipe. I also learned how to make shapes move across the screen by themselv...
I learned how to make things move by itself. I also learned how to up a constant screen. We used variables in places to make shapes.There are two steps to set up a sketch in countinuous mode. The keyboard keys can be used to trigger movements on the scr...
Today in the computing class, I learned how to make a continuous mode and for loops. I like this class very much.
We learned how to animate and control things with the keyboard and mouse by pressing the keys and processing recieving that input and transferring that into movement.
Today was really fun! We learned to have our objects move when we pressed the arrow keys. I managed to make my object jump from one side to the other when it hit the edge of the screen. I hope that I will be able to make much more complex games by the end...
Today in computer processing class we learned how to make objects move by using our mouse and our keyboard. It was very fun and some of us made Pacman’s for fun. We hope to learn to animate them so they can open and close their mouths and soon be ab...
Today after lunch, I had Creative Computing again. Today in Processing, we learned how to make a circle move by itself with an animation and have it grow and change colors along with background and have it move with the mouse. We learned how to make a pac...
Today we learned how to program voids and make objects move using the mouse and keyboard. I thought it was awesome how we are able to create a game like Pacman and make an arc move around the screen. We also learned how to set borders and program keys to ...
Today, in Creative Computing, our teacher taught us how to animate. We also learned how to use the keyboard in Processing. We learned about the “void” function, and worked on how to create borders for a moving object-all we need next is how ...
Today, after lunch I went to Creative Computing 101, where we learn how to program in the Processing IDE and language. In today’s lesson, we took a huge step forward, we learned how to make a moving image, or an animation. We started with making a c...
Today in class I learned how to program shapes to follow your mouse, the keys that you press to appear on your screen, a shape to move across the screen, a shape to follow your arrow keys and stop at the edge. I am excited to us this skill to make games...
Today we learned about soldering. We learned how to tin the iorn. This is a process where you feed allot of solder to the iorn to make it ready. We also leared how to clean the iorn with a sponge and/or copper wool. Tomorrow we will do it our selv...
Hello, my name is Jorlly and I have been attending in the robotics camp at LJCDS for a week and about a day. This awesome opportunity let me experience how to fool around with tools and how to operate the arduino, and the all famous LED light. We are aimi...
Today we learned how to insert pictures and do rotation, scaling, translating, and moving them around. It was something new for me, but I very much enjoyed it. I cant wait to finish Pac-Man, but enjoy a little sidetracking that is educationally related....
Today I learned what functions were and we learned how to add an image into the sketch. I also learned how to translate, rotate, and scale an image. I had to make a sketch where there were 3 images and had to add words next to each of them. I also got to ...
Today we learned how to put pictures on processing by dragging it onto the page and then onpening the file then inputing the code and running the program.We also looked at some projects from openprocessing.org. We also learned to scale rotate and transla...
