Once again in CSAI we are doing another cool, and fun project. During these unprecedented times we are all needing to social distance from each other. In CSAI one of the projects that we created was a Social Distancing App. In this project we each got paired with a partner, and we were challenged to create a app that could measure 6 feet from one microbit to the other. Here is the link if you want to see it https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor. Some of the challenges we faced were that we couldn’t decide on the most accurate signal strength. At the end we decided to go with -72. The closer the two microbits are the stronger the connection was. We did tests to see whose was the most accurate. Our’s was not the most accurate. We were a top 5, but I am very proud about what my partner and I accomplished.

In class my classmates and I all turned in a code, and made physical games that we played. My games was a three player game that would count down like 3,2,1 and then start. The three players would all compete to press their button first. Whoever pressed their button first would receive one point. If a player pressed their before the countdown would reset their points. Some of the troubles that I faced were pressing the buttons. Mr.Dembo explained to me that your body is like a circuit. In order for the circuit to work you needed to create a aluminum foil at the top of the cardboard. You then put your finger on the it to complete the circuit. Another problem that I ran into was the fact that the aluminum foil, for the buttons, were too thin and could easily be ripped. I solved this problem by adding more layers and thickness to prevent it from ripping easier. Here is the link https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor

In class were assigned to create a code to measure how many steps I took. Here is my link https://makecode.microbit.org/_cP0Y713aW8d2. I didn’t know what to do the first part, but then Mr. Dembo gave me some hints as to what to do. I did test after test to try to find where I should put my microbit. I worked and perfected my code at home. When I was done with my code I started to think of ways to put the pedometer on me like on my foot, knees, etc. I ultimately decided that I should have put it on my shoe. When we went to class on Tuesday we did a competition on who’s pedometer was the most accurate. I got third place with 92/100. Palash got second with 94/100, and Riya C got first with 95/100.

This creation was created in under 10 minutes, because I forgot to save my original art. It was originally a rainbow circle. Sadly I forgot to save it, and now its lost. I named it 2 razor towers because it like like razors stacking on top of each other to create a tower. Here it is if you want to check it out

Hello, Welcome to my blog! My name is William and I have been at Quest Academy for four years and I have loved it every year. I love playing tennis and has reached the top 5 in boys 10 and under rankings in the Midwest and is currently making my way up in the Boys 12 and under rankings. This is my first post on my blog, and I hope to post more.
