Extended Warranty

 Throughout my time in this coding class I found it quite amusing to code the most annoying things to encounter digitally. The first was math which personally I find annoying. Then there was a prompt to try and get your credit card information. Now I have created a chatbot that acts as one of those scam, car warranty calls. Creating this one really took a while and came down to the wire as I was still trying to finish the code the day it was due. To be fair though I am trying out some code I hadn't learned in class. I had to figure out how to use a loop from examples my teacher gave me because the idea I was explaining needed its use. Without further delay, answer the scam call: 

Overall I had fun with the code writing as it was a challenge, but one I knew I could overcome. I got help from friends and my teacher in trying to put it together and hope to continue making more of them in the future. If you notice things that can be added or streamlined, send me a message.

Tools: Upgraded

Image
 In the first STEAM class of quarantine, "Design and engineering", we have studied basic tools, advancement of tools, several design processes, math concepts surrounding materialization of said designs, and the unexpected opportunity to have not only one but two FEs this unit. For this action project we were asked to design garden tools that benefit the elderly as much as possible. With the help of my partner CJH, we started our process with picking a tool to redesign, we chose garden shears. The next step was to have an interview with my Grammie; An elderly woman who as been gardening for years. We discussed several questions, mostly about tools and her experience with them. Coincidentally she owns a pair of shears, so obviously I asked her about them. She told me "They are hard to keep sharp and are sometimes much to short or to big." When we went to revise our ideas, thinking empathically, see to properly understand the physical hardships of the elderly we must t...

Light Work

Image
In the first unit of my new class "Light, Sound and Time" (LST) we spent most of our time looking at light and waves though again, we are still in quarantine so some things were a bit complicated to communicate. First we took a look at the class as a whole, talking about light, how fast it is/ its "unique" properties(wave particle duality), the visible spectrum and the electromagnetic spectrum as a whole. Then throughout the class started answering questions. "Why do we see things with certain colors?" Well white light is shined onto objects and the color we see is the one that said object reflects the most. "Would you see your reflection if you were traveling at the speed of light?" Even though there are plenty of theories, this question proposed by Albert Einstein can not be answered yet. "What are reflection and refraction?" Reflection is light bouncing back in a direction based on the angle of the shined light; and refraction is the...

Second Final Presentation!

Image
As spring break approaches, so does final presentations for this term. With “guiding questions” (or GQs) as the theme, all students were asked to form their own guiding question relating to a class, unit, or project they have worked on this term. I chose “How can questions change the world?” as my guiding question, relating to the first unit of my class Forbidden Books. In this unit we studied Socrates and the Socratic Method, that is what my question is based on. To get into this project first, I think an introduction to the Socratic Method is in order. In the BC era, during the life of/created by the Athenian philosopher Socrates, was the Socratic Method. The basic definition is that it is a "method of inquiry and instruction" but to describe it, I would say its a way of asking questions to find your true meaning. That may sound complicated but its really just a positive way of questioning a person’s beliefs and/or morals; When you ask the how and whys of a perso...
