Today was extremley fun! We got to move circles back and forth on the screen. It was quite hard to bounce it back to the left when it reached the right side of the screen. But it didn’t compare to the difficulty of trying to get it to bounce back to...
Today was the hardest class so far in our programming camp. We had to make circles move across a screen back and forward without going off the screen. Seems easy, right? Wrong. It. Was. So. Hard. We had to move 400! Individually they had to hit the opposi...
Today was really cool! We learned to move the circles we made yesterday. We also learned to make them bounce off the walls. The only bad thing about today was that we weren’t able to get as much done as we could because a fire alarm went off. Some s...
Today, in Creative Computing 101, Â we started off with a lesson on arrays. An array is a variable that can store multiple values of the same datatype. They are used to shorten up code, by putting multiple values in one line, and to store many values to a...
Today in computing, we started learning about arrays. Array is a variable that stores values. After that, we worked on making our random circles move and change colors repeatedly. The path we told our circles to follow was for 400 to appear at a ran...
Today in creative computing I learned arrays. I also made circles that would move left to right on a loop so they would move back and forth forever. I also used a lot of conditions on sketches. There was a fire drill that interrupted us in the middle of c...
I’m gettin’ kind of bored of failing… Well, today the most interesting thing was the fire alarm, that went of at 3:00. It is suspected that the RoboticsClub was the cause of this, because Nico MIGHT have set his robot on fire. (I giggle ...
today we learned about arrays. We made for loops using arrays as shortcuts. We were thrown plenty of challenges as we were told to move circles across the screen. After we were asked to make the circles bounce off the far left and far right sides of the s...
Today in Creative Computing, Â we learned how to use arrays: Â just type in “int” and two brackets, and plug in numbers in the parentheses. We reviewed the “random”,”for”, and “translate” commands and tried ...
Today  I learned what arrays are. A array is when you can store numbers in one integer. I also learned how to move circle across the screen, make the circle bounce back, and make that go over and over again. I tried to figure it out but I couldn’...
7/19/12 Today in robotics we programmed are robot RC car to do a figure 8. Typing the code took a little bit of time, but the hard work, time, and effort paid off! It was fun watching my car do a figure 8. Sometimes my car crashed into other peoples’...
              On the first day we learned about the arduino. We went threw all the functions and abilities it can do. We also learned about the Mars Rover. And also talked about what features somthing has to have to be called a robot which...
Today we went on a field trip to Maker Place. It was a really cool experience and it had some pretty cool “exhibits” to us. I liked a few things in particular over all the others. I really liked the quilt maker, that machine was pretty awesome...
Today we had finally made our car drive by its self. At first, i thought it was going to be hard and boring but it was easy and turned our really fun!!! We also had a field trip where we went to makersplace which is a wood cutting place. It was kinda fun ...
Today I went on a field trip to Makerplace. It was somewhat fun and we visited different workshops such as wood, crafting, electronic, and laser. We also saw this cool octopus machine and a wooden motorcycle. We also saw band saws, a CNC laser cutter, etc...
today from 9-12 am we took a feild trip to a fabrication lab called Maker place. Usualy they would not let anybody under sixteen in the lab but we had a special oppurtunity. We got to see all sorts of table saws band saws and other saws. We also had the o...
Today we filmed ourselves talking about our projects. We also learned about beziers, a curved line. We went to MakerPLace, a fabrication lab. It was really fun because we got to see really cool stuff being made out of cardboard, wood, metal and electronic...
Well.. I’m going to try to make this short. We went to MakerPlace today, and it was awesome. I’d have to say, the best part was the end– we went to the lobby, which was not boring, and I drew little people on a whiteboard, including Ms. ...
In robotics, we made car and took it apart hacked into the chip. Now we soltored the motor wires onto the RC car micro controller and attached the wires to the arduino. We programmed the arduino to make the car move forward, reverse, left and right to ma...
Today we went on a field trip to MakerPlace. It was very interesting and there were so many different machines that did much different things. There was everything from a quilting machine to a 3D printer! Then there was the super cool laser cutter. It ...
Today, like last Thursday, we went on a field trip to MakerPlace, a laboratory designed for buiding things. I explored how people used laser cutters to cut cardboard and wood, quilting machines that turn thread into carpets,3D printers that print in 3D ...
Today we went on a field trip to MakerPlace, a company that helps small businesses grow. It gives them office space, a conference room , and most of all, a workshop. In the workshop was two main parts. A wood part and metal part. The wood shop had tools t...
on day 9 we went to a place on a field trip called makerplace. they were a fabrication lab. you had to be 18 to get in but they let us in. we saw all the machines and tools. they had big sewing machines, 3d printers, wood cutters, and a welding room. a 3d...
Today was cool. We went on a field trip to MakerPlace. MakerPlace is a place where you can go and use woodworking and metalworking tools to make whatever you like! We saw some CNC wood cutters. We also saw a really cool cutting laser. We watched some card...
Today in Creative Computing 101 we mostly just worked on our self portraits. To start, I finished my pacman by putting ellipses for pacman to eat, although they didn’t disappear when pacman went over them. After that, I put some finishing touches on...
Today in the morning we went on a field trip to Maker Place. Maker place is a place where you use different tools to cut, make, and paint things. I didn’t learn much but i thought that the cardboard laser was cool. Today in class, i finished my mast...
Today in the morning the whole camp went to Maker Place. There I saw the cnc, laser cuter, a band saw, quilting machine, and etc. It was interesting, fun, and I want to go there again. Plus I got a key chain from the c and c laser. Today in programming IÂ...
today i worked with andy. we fixed his robot and fixed mine. then we attached a breadboard to our cars. then we our own arduinos and attached them to our cars. we made it go in a figure 8. i took a long time but eventually we got it. then we attached an u...
TETRIS: The Most Addicting Game On Earth All I wanted today was to play TETRIS. Or go to freemario.org. Or play Frogger. But no, we HAD to learn about libraries. It was pretty interesting. I guess. We played around today, with the libraries. With peasyfun...
Today was pretty fun. I started working on my final project which will be a cool little shooting game. I will make squares with targets on them pop up and then when you click on them there will be a gunshot and then it will break. I think it will be quite...
Today, in creative computing, we learned about libraries. Libraries are like add-ons to the original processing app. For example they can add the ability to use 3D object manipulating, import videos and sound, and much more. Today, Toni, our instructor ta...
Today in computer programming, we learned about libraries. Libraries are like add-ons for processing. For example, you can make your project full screen or use 3 dimmensional shapes or objects like cubes, spheres, or you can wring out towels. After that, ...
