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 ...

Puerto Rico Travel Brochure

This unit in our Spanish 2 course we learned a great deal. We learned about new conjugations and how to apply them in conversation. These new conjugations include -ar -er -ir verbs as well as ser and estar. Learning these expanded our potential for sentence complexity, and allowed us to try more new and fun sentences. We also learned about comparatives and superlatives to further describe something. Finally this action project was to create a fake travel brochure for the country of our choice. We had to apply what we had learned into it, and creatively present it. Afterword: This action project was honestly not my favorite. While it was interesting to apply what I had learned and to refresh my brain on the subjects; there was not much flexibility in how to apply my own creative flair. Otherwise something else worth mentioning is the difficulty I felt with applying all the conjugations I learned in sentences in the slideshow. ...

There's WHAT in the water!?!

10/27/21 There's WHAT in the water?!? In our Water class, a core class that combines math and science and applies it to real-world issues, we learned many things this past week. We started with scientific notation, exponents, and logarithms. with which we applied by checking exactly what was in our drinking water. To test this we met with Rock from 'Plant Chicago' where he showed us his organization's hydroponics and aquaponics set-ups. It was really cool being able to see how the cycle worked and how each organic benefitted the next, the fishs' excrement became ammonia which was taken in as nutrients for the plants in the form of nitrites which ten transformed into nitrates to grow the plants. we were able to measure exactly how much pH, Ammonia, Nitrates, and nitrites were in the aquaponics systems water. we did this using the API Water test kit; using the kit we dropped what looked like a dye, this dye would indicate how much of each contaminated the ...
