Lab 8 Reflection

What I did in this lab is we made a favicon we did this by going to code.org and in unit two you can make your own and I made it by 12 by by 9 pixies which  only gave me the two colors that I need. I we used the New York Knicks  colors which  is blue and orange, and then i made -_- face because i love to use that when I'm texting. The hardest part of the project was finding the color that i wanted to use and figure out the code for the color. I see myself using this in the future  when I need a logo for my website or helping out someone who need one. 

pep rally

On Tuesday, we were at at pep rally at our school. CCEC and there were many representatives there that talked about the importance of code, queens borough president was there, the founder of code.org, coding is a real privilege that not that many people know how to do it around the world. Spreading the importance of coding and how it can help our growing technology is important and our school was the only school in Queens to get to hear the speakers and professionals. There are so many open spaces for computer science jobs because any one can make it and do it. But i wanna be a computer engineering so I din't know if it will help me or not. I learned a lot in the pep rally and  about important coding is in the real world. Being able to understand code and write it is going to help me in the future. 

Hackathon reflection

We went to a hackathon and we all wanted to win, we also had food, since we were going to be there for 11 hours. I was happy that they kept us alive because I didn't want to spend any money on food. Me and my team make a website based on bias statements. When it was time to handed in our project we had a lot of errors. But we fix just before we present it. It was so much fun even tho my group didn win, but next time I have a feelingthat I can win, all need is more skills.

Google trip

Today we're invited to go to a google trip. This trip was really fun and I learned so many new things with the people that worked their. We left after school to take the train to google offices. When we got they gave us guess tags. After this we were separated into and was escorted by people that worked their. They showed us the place and and alot of cool things. What I found cool was when I saw that they had a game room had great food ,their was creativity art, and some funny things as well. After that they sent us to an conference room. In this conference room they talked about what they do, how they do it, and the hard thing they faced. We got to ask them a few questions. After that it was time to leave which made me sad because google is one of favorite company and I kinda wanna like there.

WBL Workshop Reflection

In this workshop we discovered our career DNA we first tried to find out our personality like what we and act. Then we looked at what games do i play and made a check list, i found out that i am a social person. The various methods used during the workshop were questions that determined which category is best fit for us as the one with the most check marks meant that we liked that specific area of work more than others and are most likely more fit to pursue it than others. The top three groups that I feel are best fit for me in order from 1st to 3rd were Conventional, Realistic, and finally Enterprising. Also, the Holland Code helped solidify the fact that the group like Conventional was best fit for me as I had the most check marks in that area.

     I really learned a lot of useful information in this workshop and this is another step towards finding which college will be of my best interest to pursue and major in as I need to find a passion for my job and love it. Figuring it out early is better than doing it at the last minute and I am happy that such opportunities were available to learn more and be more productive to work towards it. I hope for more workshops to come and help me towards college.
