That’s a Wrap: Learning Project Summary

Over the course of the past semester, I’ve chosen to learn about coding for my Learning Project. Although it was a rocky road, I’ve learned more than I thought I ever would about coding and programming. Computer Science, Engineering, Programming etc., have never been topics I’ve been very interested in learning about, so I believe…

“I’ve got 99 problems but a switch ain’t one”

That title was not my idea, but is literally what Python called the tutorial, and I legitimately laughed out loud. That aside, the tutorials have been getting more difficult, and are taking wayyy longer than they have before. via GIPHY One critique that I have for Python is that many of the tutorials, I don’t…

“Scratch”-ing My Head

This week in EDTC300, we’re learning about coding! Because I’ve chosen to learn about coding in my Learning Project, I’ve done quite a few of the Hour of Code courses (App Lab, Sports Code, Hello Processing), as well as done some work with Code Academy (Python); I hadn’t yet done work with Scratch though, so…

Monty Python… and the Holy Grail

via GIPHY I think I’ve found the Holy Grail of Python resources! I have still been using the guide provided by David Sinsky to learn about coding, but along with the basics of coding, I’ve chosen to learn the coding language called Python, and have been working through the Codecademy tutorials to do so. Because…

Harry Potter Puns: They Can Slytherin to any Conversation

via GIPHY If you have been following my journey through learning code (which let’s be honest, has been fairly hard to follow), you will know that I’ve chosen to learn the coding language called Python (hence the HP title reference). As stated in my previous learning project blog post, I’ve decided to follow the direction…

…_ _ _… (SOS) Morse Code is Coding Right?

As I’ve stated before, it’s been difficult tracking my progress with coding, more so because it involves a lot of numbers and codes that I am still getting used to, so the explanation of what I’m doing, barely makes sense to me at this point. The topic of this post though actually came to me…

Hello Processing!

I’ve been struggling with keeping up with my blog posts, not because I haven’t been working on my project, more so with having to write about the process and experience after the fact. Regardless, here I am — better late than never is what I always say! My last post was about the Hackathon that…

Eye-Tracking Hackathon

As I’ve stated in my past couple of learning project posts, I’ve been having a little bit of difficulty getting into the world of programming and coding. That being said, I knew I needed to do something, or find someone who would be able to lead me in a better direction than I was previously…

ERROR_CODE

I’ve been struggling to write this post for a number of reasons. I’m now entering my third week of learning how to code, and it is very slow going. I feel like I don’t have too much to report on because I’ve just been doing a bunch of research and reading. That being said, I…

Bro Code

Throughout my adolescent years and into early adulthood, I have learned French, learned how to play the flute and guitar, how to juggle, how to run 5ks, how to knit, even how to ride a unicycle! Because of this, I’ve been struggling to choose a new topic of focus for my EDTC Learning Project, but…
