Jared the Chatbot

Today we finished our last AP for our coding class, This time we learned how to use more reactionary statements that allow the computer to detect whether a condition is met or not and then execute a particular sequence of code or not. To do this we use If - Then or elif statements. Our AP this time was to create a psudo-chatbot to talk and respond to you.

Afterword:

This project was so much fun. By this point in the course we learned enough that we could do a lot more creatively since we finally had the tools to pull it off; because of that this project became more of a passion project. On the other hand though I learned that no matter how much coding you know you will always struggle with bugs. I spent a lot of time especially because of the increased number of lines it took to make this. It was confusing to decipher what was what even with the comments (The hashtag looking lines) which I used to make notes for myself.

Drippy Stats

This week at my unorthodox, project based high school, GCE lab school, we have finished up with our first Action project of the year for our water class. An action project is a project we complete that can be used to broadcast and show our learning in a unit, this unit we learned about conversions, fractions, and part vs. Percent. These topics were then applied to the real world when we learned about how many around the world do not have easy access to clean water and how this means that many around the world must walk long distances every day to bring home surface water to sustain themselves and their families. This units action project echo's what we've learned and has provided us an opportunity to teach others about this ongoing tragedy. to get some perspective on water usage we used a website to calculate approximately how much water we use on a daily basis, I learned that I use about 161 gallons of water daily which I found out is MORE ...

The US vs New Zealand: Push for Rainbow Leadership

This week (10/22/21) in our humanities class, 'Sustainable Development goals and You'. We learned about Gender Equality and more specifically what gender is. We explored the gay rights movement and the women's suffrage movement. We saw how discrimination for gender or sexual identity badly affects things like safety and access to quality medical treatment. To see this in a different light we took a field experience to Andersonville to meet H-Melt and Molly who are activists for the gay rights movement. Molly created a mural in Andersonville that displayed what an abolitionist feminist world would be like, and H-melt helped as a consultant for Molly's art. This experience gave me a great opportunity to ask questions on Abolitionist Feminism. To put this all together we created a comparative essay to see how different countries are working on gender equality. Eyten, Ted. " Virginia Delegate Danica Roem speaking at the Victory F...

Keeping our Vision on Fission!

This unit we've been hard at work learning about functions, system of equations, and renewable energy. We learned all about all the different types of energies and how they work and are used in the real world. We spoke with Christa Markgraff who works in the natural gas industry to hear from someone with in-depth experience with all kinds of energy. Even though her work is in natural gas she explained all the different pros and cons of each energy type. Did you know thorium used in nuclear power plants is one of the most efficient power sources? I didn't It was really cool to talk to and ask questions to someone with proper experience in the field. To wrap it all up we worked on creating an infomercial for a renewable resource of our choice. It was fun because we got to take lots of creative liberty on this one. We even took lots of inspiration from the flex tape infomercials featuring the legendary Bob Saget. Now without further ado here's my i...
