My group chose Disney Character, TV characters, Music artists, a star wars character, and Donald Trump. It guessed Trump correctly, Dean Winchester correctly, and 42 wallaby way, Sydney correctly. Most of the time, even when we searched for the characters, it couldn't find them. Other times, we just didn't have enough knowledge about the person, place, or thing we were thinking of.

Class Observations

Most if not all of the creations I saw were symmetrical has lots of geometric shapes. Even if the designs were simple, they showed great understanding of the design tools used. People used different design tools to make their pictures but all of them created an image that was close if not identical to the picture drawn on the graph paper. I feel that these pieces of work were very successful.

I have improved from my other assignments because I have learned how to use this software and the process has become so much faster.

Cornrow Braids

This software was a little harder to get but once I got the hang of it it became easier. The starting point is at the center of each "y" shaped "braid." Once you have that you need to set the angle and then toy around with the dilation to get the size.

Basket Weaver

This software was almost identical to the bead loom one, because all you needed to do you was plug in the coordinates and try to create the example design. I found it pretty simple but time consuming, just like the bead loom.

"We're going to keep working to connect the entire world -- even if that means looking beyond our planet," Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post.
           Facebook hopes to launch their first satellite in 2016 and that it will be operational by the second half of the year. Their project is part of Facebook's Internet.org project, which has been criticized by some countries. In some areas, particularly India, businesses are angry about the plans, saying it gave Facebook, and its partners, an unfair advantage in developing internet markets. This new project looks to use existing satellite technology to provide affordable internet access.

        My name is Alyssa Cole and I am 13 years old. I live in a family of four with my mother, father, and sister. I love to read, write, and ski. My favorite subject in school is either math or science and I tutor late elementary school and early middle school kids in math. I am one of the youngest kids in my grade because I used to live in Meford, where the cutoff was January 1st. I decided to take this class because one of the things I would like to do when I get out of college is get a job involved with technology and computers. What I hope to take out of this class is a better knowledge or what a computer is and how it works.
