Here you'll find projects made through computer science classes and STEM summer camps.
These camps include: UT Prep, Kode with Klossy, and Girls who Code. Detailed below each
title, are descriptions of the process she took to complete her assignment.
Springing Site
Our purpose with the creation of Springing is to get citizens engaged in
government; voting; voicing their opinions; exercising power. Through
Springing you will remember where you came from, your origins. Our site
is a place to come into contact with your culture, and learn ways in
which you can integrate yourself into that world. Learn about their
history and its current events. Bring change to those worlds, via
donation sites that directly help certain regions. Learn about the
connection between politics and culture.
Leslie's Game
During this project, I learned how to use Scratch. I learned what
sprites were and how to make a game. I also learned how to make a sprite
change costumes when you press a button.
Leslie's Story
During this Scratch project I learned how to change the background
colors when I press a button. I also learned how to make sprites
disappear when the green flag is pressed. Also, I learned how to make
sprites appear when the background is changed. Something interesting
that I learned how to do was making the sprites appear to move or walk.
Space Invaders
My partner and I decided to remix the original "Space Invaders" by
adding three saucers instead of one. These saucers fired back at the
spaceship if it tried to attack them. In the original project there was
no line of defense, in fact the one saucer that existed in the game,
didn't shoot back at the spaceship. We also changed the sprites
"costumes" and added a space background because the original game looked
too simple and basic. As we worked on this project, I learned how to
make a sprite move randomly within a certain area.
Python Interactive Fiction
While my partner and I worked on our interactive fiction in python, I
learned how to indent correctly. In addition, I learned how to use if,
elif, and else. During my third year at the UT Prep Summer Camp Program,
I learned how to use RStudio, so I used some of my knowledge to make the
overall process of creating this interactive fiction easier. For
example, I already knew how to print certain phrases, so I assumed that,
in Python, the code would look similar as to the RStudio one.
Resources
Throughout the academic school year, I have used an abundance of
reference websites to guide me as I learn to code. Below are the
websites that have helped me with the creation of Scratch, Python, and
MITAppInventor games.
