Artifact #2: Snake Game

by at

Recently, I’ve been looking for ways to improve my coding skills outside of my usual classes. I decided that I would begin to learn how to make visual programs that would display something on screen. In my search, I found a Youtube tutorial series designed to teach Java by the channel “Bro Code”. Their collection of videos covers the basics of Java and leads into displaying programs on screen. One of the final projects in the series is a tutorial on making a “Snake-like” game. The project covers using visual libraries such as Swing and AWT. Overall, I’ve learned a lot while going through the series. I hope to use the new skills I’ve learned to better my old programs and to write more interactive code.

Artifact #1: DIY Oscilloscope

by at

The attached pictures represent a completed DIY Oscilloscope I ordered from Amazon. An Oscilloscope is, in simple terms, a device that measures and displays power signals such as analog and digital waves. The project involved an intermediate level of soldering and an understanding of basic electronic components. As someone who plans on majoring in computer science, I believe it is important to know the basics of computer design. Overall, I learned a lot about troubleshooting small components and circuits. I hope to use my knowledge and skills in order to find a job that fits my interests and hobbies.

G.O.A.L.S.

  • Global Awareness is the understanding of the world’s cultures and processes. It’s about an understanding of the very big and the very small and how everything connects and works together. I plan on possibly doing some studying aboard in my late years of college and intend to take courses to extend my understanding of the diversity in the world.
  • Original Inquiry is the combination of determination and curiosity to seek out and appreciate all kinds of knowledge. It leads us as individuals to try to understand ourselves and the world around us through research and art. I plan on reaching out to professors in my late college years to gain experience working in a lab and learn more about specific work in my desired field.
  • Academic Enrichment is the practice of surrounding one’s self with the knowledge obtained through original inquiry and truly understanding the information instead of just knowing the text in a book. I plan on taking courses involved with my desired engineering field to both increase my understanding of the field and challenge myself for work beyond education.
  • Leadership Development is the process of becoming someone who can orchestrate and rally a group of people with knowledge and experience. I hope to participate in community activities around campus to better myself as a leader and learn more from those who demonstrate strong leadership.
  • Service Engagement is the action of supporting people and communities. I plan to search for and participate in community service around campus to build relationships and gain experience in various fields of work.
