Those girls pass on the knowledge that Bryant taught them, onto other young girls and boys “Bryant decided to start Black Girls Code, a nonprofit that would introduce girls from underrepresented communities to computer programming… Starting Black Girls Code was a huge sacrifice for Bryant. But she is a risk-taker, and believes that characteristic has served her well throughout her career” (Gilpin, Lyndsey). Bryant only wanted to change the future for all the women who want…

cooperation, creativity, and innovation in students, skills that are not easily taught in a classroom setting. Also, members of TNT’s programming team have organized Hour of Code events to inform and instruct junior high and high school students on the educational and employable benefits of coding, giving all students hands on access and assistance to explore simple programming skills in an hour. Outside of the classroom, TNT has accepted the responsibility of mentoring rookie FRC Team 6453…

technical skills to create their own computer applications. Furthermore, there continues to be a deficit of industrial technology, or IT, because students are not being exposed to computer science at school (Sterling). Putting an emphasis on teaching programming classes, aims at the lack of this skill set in the workforce. “…As career paths go, it 's one of the most productive for high-growth, high-paying job” (Busteed). Jobs in the computer science field are expanding rapidly, and nearly all of…

I kept on making the same errors that I made a year ago when I first picked up programming. Little did I know that this was a growing pain and it was crucial for me to get accustomed to this continuous struggle. Unlike my other classmates, I persevered when nothing made sense to me. It was the dream of being able to finally make this…

Description of Project: For our project we did a spin off of the book Witches Four by Marc Brown. We called our project Four Witches and followed about 50% of the actual story. We had a total of 38 sprites and 310 scripts. At the beginning of our project we spell out the title with our pencil and our initials by saying who 's it by. The first audio we added was welcoming the audience to the witches home. Then we introduced our characters by saying one witch, two witches and so on. Then we ask…

To be able to write in depth about Artificial Intelligence, the readers must first know what it is and how it works. First, some important terms need defining. Artificial Intelligence or AI is a, “... subfield of computer science that focuses on creating computer software that imitates human learning and reasoning” (Blackwell and Manar 1). Different from most computer programs, Artificial Intelligence does not use a predetermined step system with instructions, otherwise known as algorithms.…

class and completed ten of the thirteen units. The first unit I completed since the last log check was unit three. This unit covered the topics of conditionals and control flow. Conditionals in python are much like conditional statements in regular language. They are meant to provide conditions as to whether or not a computer should run a certain code. For instance, a computer may decide to only run a specific line of code if an input value is greater than 3. The key conditional in this…

call programs. The American heritage dictionary defines software as: “Written or printed data such as programs, routines and symbolic languages, essential to the operation of computers.” Software is anything that controls hardware. Software does not exist solely inside a computer. It is anything non-touchable, non- viable set of instructions coded in machine languages. Example: Operating system, Compiler, Interpreter, and application software are examples of software. Hardware: The term…

offer. In recent times fewer women, especially minorities, have been involved in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This information serves as a chilling contradiction to the late 1960s when technological jobs such as computer programming was deemed as something a savvy young woman could do even comparing computer planning to “planning a dinner”. This paper will analyze why there has been a decrease in the amount of women in the fields of STEM, ways to increase the percentage…

I was contacted by my old coding teacher and received the opportunity to assist her in leading this year’s coding program. Although I knew I wasn't the best at coding, I saw this offer as a chance for me to learn more about it while sharing the little that I knew with others. During last year's program I got the opportunity to create my own games/programs/apps, and I learned more about JavaScript and its role in businesses. With this information I realized that knowing at least basic code is…
