2) LINKED IN - To stay connected, make sure you are linked to me on Linked In... Why? That is one of the main ways I'll stay connected professionally with you.  It's how I'll check on how you are doing in the future.  It's how I'll let you know of cool stuff I find, and it's how I'll let you know about any jobs or internships I come across... It's also how you will request any letters or recommendation. 

• Check that you and I are connected.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-burnham-2243018/
• check to see if you are in my 2 Mechatronics groups.  The first is a Mechatronics "alumni" group, where I'll post stuff maybe every 2 weeks... the second is where I will post any Job or internship opportunities... if you are not in these groups and want to be, send me a linked in message and ask to be added.
  
• Mechatronics (& Cyber) Students "Chat" room
• (Jobs) - Mechatronics (& Cyber)  Internships and Job Opportunities

3) Do a Flipgrid  - Say Hi to Future Mechatronics Engineering Students - Think "Recruitment Video"

• Say Hi and your First Name - Not your LAST Name "Hi, my name is Jim... "
• Did you like the Mechatronics Class? Why?
• What was the hardest or most challenging project or topic
• What did you like the BEST? (it can be the same topic as question #3)
• If could tell a future Mechatronics student how they should get ready, and what to focus on to get the most out of the class, what would that advice be?

4) End Of the Year Survey.  Please take the 5-7 minutes to fill this out

• If you are a Junior - 11th Grade Student Exit Survey 2019-2020
• If you are a Senior - 12th Grade Student Exit Survey 2019-2020

5) Keep working on Python and the 8 Bit computer... check past blog posts for assignments... 

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 - Keep working... make sure you are connected with me on Linked in

1) Mr Burnham Saying Hi with some updates...

3) Special Instructions or Announcements:

• Check out what up-coming Events <way out of Date>

4) Python LABs 

• If you have completed all the Python assignments.  Send me a Slack request for the final challenge.  It will be about Data bases, so you will want to review chapters 13, 14, 15 about Web services, Objects and Data bases .  
• You will also want to think about how you create a list of student "names" (rows) and 2 columns with a "status" value and maybe another integer value and then be able to generate a random number to pick a name off the list and then based on user input alter the status value and probably the integer value too... check with me on Slack for more information.
• Otherwise, Catch up on any Lab assignments you are missing.  Check Google Classroom.  You will want to review any chapter topics here PY4E.COM
• Regular Expressions Python - Lecture and Assignment Overview
• Work on any late assignments Check blog over the last few days... 
• Start reviewing the chapter and lessons on Regular Expressions 
• Regular Expressions Example code and Network Programming lessons
• For help with Regular Expressions see these 2 tutorials: Try out these examples first then go back to my code... I know I just dropped a hard lab on you with out much regular expression learning... 
• https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2015/06/regular-expression-python/ 
• https://www.learnpython.org/en/Regular_Expressions. 
• HTTP Socket Example Code
• Reading a STOCK example

• Lab#1 Reading more stuff


• Challenge #1: Using regular expressions, read the "open", "high" and "low" price for the day
• Challenge #2 add input('enter a ticker symbol ') and make it so you can enter a ticker symbol and create a program that will find the stock you enter... this is hard... I can't get it to work yet... I'm close... but can't do it yet... search for "how to use variables in regular expressions"  this may help

5) Ben Eater's 8 Bit Computer

OK, we will spend Wednesday this week at 9:15 and 2:00 to focus on the "Next Steps" for the 8 Bit Computer and what you should be working on.   Basically find the place you are in the flow in the 8 bit Computer Build Page from Focus on Foundations page and keep working. It is best to use the Focus on Foundations SLACK channel to ask for support questions... this way me, Randy, or any other students can help you.  Just post your question in the right channel.
