Apple Everyone can Create SeriesFor the past weeks, we have been covering the Apple Everyone can Create Series. This basically allowed students to develop skills and communicate ideas through their photography, drawings, or music. We were able to download the book on Apple Books for free, as it helped guide us towards the different ways we are able to express our thoughts and ideas. Using this book as a guide, students picked a topic that interested them and picked different ways to express that specific topic. As for me, I chose to focus on the first round of the NBA Playoffs, specify the Boston Celtics. As people may have already been aware by now, the Celtics had swept the Brooklyn Nets 4-0 in the first round. This was a big deal since the Nets had two of most talented basketball players in the entire world. For this, I made a photo collage of photos from google that were taken during the four game series.

Cybersecurity Research PaperFor the past week, we have been given the task to pick any topic or event relating to Cybersecurity, which then we would research and write a one page paper about whatever we picked. In my case, I picked the event where China had breached six U.S state agencies within the last year. It took multiple days to do research and get an overall idea of what was going on. After, I was able to finish the one page paper within a day as a result of my notes. Below, my research paper and a one minute video explaining this event will be linked for anyone to view.
Sweet Home 3DFor the past couple of weeks, we have been doing many things with different types of apps and objects. One of the apps we have explored was an app called Sweet Home 3D. This is a basic architecture program that you can either browse or download. This free software helps users to build a 2D plan of a house, but also gives a 3D preview. Furnitures can also be imported into the software to make a virtual environment. You are able to build your dream house without being restricted at all. Users also have the ability to place furnitures and decorate the inside of their house in order to make it more appealing.
Preparation for CS Ed WeekFor the past week we have been getting ready and organized for CS Ed Week. During that week, middle schoolers would be coming to the high school in order for them to engage in different activities run by the Help Desk students. To prepare for this week we have looked at multiple apps and assigned people into groups. One app we have explored is called EarSketch. In this app, you are able to compose music and make your own songs. I have been assigned to the VR group. To prepare our teacher, Mr.Wong has given us instructions on how to get the VR started and how to run it. This information is necessary since we are going to need it to set up the VR and help with any problems the middle schoolers have with it.
TutorialFor the past couple of weeks, we have been working our own tutorials. Everyone picked something they should make a tutorial about. In my case, I chose how to connect an Apple Keyboard with an iPad. Before hand, I wrote an overview of what I was going to say in google docs. It took multiple tries to record this tutorial. In order to edit this video, I used the iMovie app on my home computer. Compared to the other tutorials this video was short, since the subject of the tutorial I chose was a little more specific than others.
DronesFor the past couple of weeks, we have been focused on flying and taking pictures with drones. We have been using all sorts of drones, but specifically we learned how to fly the Tello and Parrot drones. We also went outside and learned how to take pictures and control them with hand motions. Inside the school, we were also given the opportunity to code the drones in order for it follow a specific set of instructions. Overall, it was pretty amazing learning more about drones, especially since it might become a common vehicle used in the near future for things like delivering packages.
