What have you already done with computing and technology? Include what you did these last two weeks. These past two weeks I’ve made a battleship game on Python, and a maze with Python Turtle Graphics. I also learned some Java and Cybersecurity. Previously I’ve made a game on Unity, a bag on lilypad, and projects on Scratch Describe your Interest in Computing and Technology. I could see myself working with computing and technology as a future career Describe ANY leadership positions you have had in school and/or community. I’ve been in student council, where I got to help with the coordination and advertising of school assemblies, and participate in Project Unify. Describe your career goals in detail. What do you want to accomplish? Why is your career goal important to you? I want a career that parallels my interests and hobbies, and pays well. My career goals are important to me because I’ll be working for most of my life, and I want to enjoy it. Define a problem that is cur...

1. Provide an overview of your project/artifact. ( For example, I designed a video game using Scratch programming where the player, or snowman, has to catch 5 snowflakes and avoid the flying flames. I made a maze on python that interacted with turtle graphics. If the sprite goes out of range, it will be moved back to its starting point, if the sprite reaches its target, win text will be displayed in the turtle. 2. What did you plan to learn from your project? Did you meet this target? I was hoping to learn more about turtle graphics, and keyboard input. I felt like I reached my target. 3. What computer science concepts did you use in your project? (Variables, loops, conditional statements, functions, lists/arrays, methods, etc.)        The computer science concepts I used were functions,variables, a void and for loop, conditional statements, and an object. 4. What computational thinking principles did you use in your project? (Abstraction...

Day 7 6/13 Define a problem that is currently a problem in the world. How could technology solve the problem? A current problem in the world is pollution and rapid water usage. Technology could help solve the problem because with the decreased use of fossil fuels, versus harnessing solar and electrical energy, less Carbon Monoxide would be polluted into our atmosphere. Also, more efficient ways to recycle could help prevent pollution on land and seas.Technology could help the recycling and energy fields evolve.

Describe ANY leadership positions you have had in school and/or community. Continue answering: --What have you already done with computing and technology? (Can include what you are currently doing) --Describe your Interest in Computing and Technology. Why you came to this camp? What you want to get out of it? What have you already accomplished in computing and technology? What might you do with computing and technology in the future? I was in a leadership position when I participated in student console in middle school. I have done a lot at ywic. Once I made a game in Unity, and I’ve used arduino several times to create a music-playing bag on lilypad, and a “piano” on an uno board. I’ve used python and java on the platform repl.it to code 21 sticks, and battleship. I’ve many games on Scratch,  . I came to this camp to learn about cybersecurity, and have the opportunity to create a project. I’d like to learn more about the importance of computer structures, and malware. I’ve ...

Day 5 Describe your Interest in Computing and Technology. For example, you can answer the following questions: Why you came to this camp? What you want to get out of it? What have you already accomplished in computing and technology? What might you do with computing and technology in the future?  I came to this camp to learn about computer science in a fun environment. From this camp, I wanted to learn more about Java, and have the opportunity to create a project. I've accomplished a lot in computer science through YWiC. I've used a lot of platforms and languages to make programs and games, and I've learned a bit about cyber security and robots. Computing and technology are useful skills, so probably any career I go in to will use them.
