Friday, April 10, 2020 - Happy Friday.... I'm still going to pester you over spring break

Happy Friday.  Have fun on Spring Break... Not sure it's going to be much different... Friday Check in


Stuff You might want to do next week

Eventbrite - select events for free, and search for a topic, like Robots, or Coding, or Programming, or Electronics... 

April
June
  • Automation and Robotics - Free virtual conference... I'm totally going.  Sign up now to reserve a spot... But it's in the UK... so it starts at 2:00 AM PST

Python Strings LAB 

Here is the code we played with last Tuesday.  Look at This Code and read Strings

Here is a coding assignment.  Run it first, and then start editing these labs.  It should be clear where to make the edits.  You should see sections labeled #1 #2 #3... follow the printed or commented instructions.  When you think you are done turn the link to your program in to the Google classroom assignment.  You will use many string methods, and you will need to read and understand the information found in the Strings reference guide.
If you started this already maybe you started with this lab... you can keep doing it, but I recommend you to do all the other labs

Wednesday, April 8, 2020 - Robot Club, and Catch up on assignments

Hi There... Me Saying "Happy Wed"

1) FlipGrid - Tell me how you are and what you are learning

Take attendance on Google Classroom

I sent every one a Remind invitation.  This went to your cell phone and personal email... Please accept the request.

2) join Randy's FoF 8 Bit Computer Slack channel

Join Hangouts Meet
meet.google.com/kdd-bypm-iya

3) Work on Missing Assignments and you 3D  Print model

Stuff I Found & May Be Interesting To You
  • Hack-a-Day -  Virtual Classes and Webinar Calendar - These are a big list of events that are happening over the next few weeks.  Just check out the days, and attend... some are just YouTube live events, others are webinars... pick some thing that is interesting.

  • Vex Robotic -  "Vex Virtual Programming" Webinar - This is how to use a VEX online site to program a virtual robot, where you can still use code to tell your robot what to do.  This webinar is about using their block based code framework, but I think you can switch to use their normal text based C++ 
Open LAB  and/or Robot Club 
  • LAB - Duration: 60 Min
  • Link: Robot Club Google Sites
  • Instructions & Expectations: Connect with your Robot Club Team.  Or do something interesting on your own.  If you have not turned in your 3D pront moddle, please do.  I'm starting to print them now

Monday, April 6, 2020 - WooHooo What Are You Learning? Building?



1) FlipGrid - Tell me how you are and what you are learning

Watch on YouTube

Take attendance on Google Classroom

I sent every one a Remind invitation.  This went to your cell phone and personal email... Please accept the request.


Folks, Please don't stress. I'll have Lecture and Office hours Tuesday and Thursday this week... but if you would like to get extra help, Please connect with me to setup additional time for a live call. You can look at these resources. Maybe in this order. Don't worry how long it takes, just keep working. It's fine if this takes you till we are back from spring break. I'll keep adding resources and assignments... Just keep working

Also remember that none of this will affect your grade in a negative way. I'm actually giving points to students who show they are trying , so as you turn in work, even if it's late, I will give full credit as if it was tuned in on time.

2) Python

Where to Start?

1) of Python in 1 hour. T
2) Cisco Module 1
3) review this chapter https://www.py4e.com/html3/01-intro4) review lesson 3 on the https://www.py4e.com/lessons site and make sure to look at the reference guide https://www.py4e.com/html3/02-variables5) Cisco Module 2
6) review lesson 4 on the https://www.py4e.com/lessons site and read https://www.py4e.com/html3/03-conditional7) start Cisco module 3 and look at Python Office Hour session as you look at the Dice assignment

  • Write a program that:
    • Ask the user to rolls 2 dice <-- This will be an input question, maybe just a hit any key, maybe print what they type, and it can be the secret whisper you blow on the dice as you roll them...
    • print the value of each dice, add then and print the total <-- some math and print()
    • If they are both 1, print "Snake Eyes" <-- If/else
    • if they are 7, Print "Craps"
    • If they are doubles, print "Doubles"
    • Keep a running total, and when they get to 100 quit <-- More math
    • other wise keep asking  them to roll again <-- some type of loop wrapped around all your code to jump back to the top to ask them to roll again.
    • If they enter a "q" or "Q" then quit using a break
    • Extra Credit - If they roll 2 doubles in a row, print "Hot Roller"
  • link to code to as a starting point https://repl.it/@STEAMClown/HarmfulTalkativeManagement

3) 3D Design and Tinker Cad 
  • Lab - Duration: 1-3 hours 
  • Link: Assignment Lecture - What Do I Want You To Do
  • Instructions & Expectations: Please watch the Assignment Introduction Video and then do the following:
    • Tuesday:- Pick a project to work on in TinkerCAD or some other 3D tool. Do this today.  See the Google Classroom assignment. If you pick something on Thingiverse to modify, submit the link to the original in this assignment too.
    • Wednesday and Thursday -  Work on your design.  This will probably take 1-2 hours.  If you start from a finished design off Thingiverse, you need to modify your design at least 20%.
    • Friday (or Before) Turn in a file named firstName-LastName-DesignName.stl
      • I think if you copy it to your Google Drive, and share it I'll be able to access it... but you can also email it to svctemecha@metroed.net 

  • Dig Deeper: See what lots of companies are doing with 3D printers to solve the PPE shortage.  Extra Credit - find some links and write me 200+ words on what you found and why it's cool. See Google class room for "Solving PPE with 3D"

4) Ben Eater's 8 Bit Computer - Stay Tuned... more on this this week.  Sorry it's taking so long to get this booted...
