Good Morning America Trip

My school offered an amazing opportunity for the CTE Academy, we were offered to be on Good Morning America to meet Bill Gate. Of course this is an exciting opportunity there was one drawback to this trip, i order to make it on the show(which was live tv), we had to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning in order to arrive at the studio at 6. However, many students still went, including myself.  Something that was unexpected was not only was Bill Gates gonna be there but also his wife, Melinda Gates, Michael B. Jordan, and other famous people.

Of course, since we were going to represent our school on live tv, we had to dress very nicely. When we arrived at the studio, we were told that WE were also going to be on live tv and even some of us would be asking questions are participating in the various events on the show. It was an unforgettable experience, and at the end of the show we were given free tickets to watch Black Panther which just came out at the time.

Lab4-Color Table

Image
The directions for lab 4 was to create a table made up of hues and the corresponding hexadecimal value for the hue. In order to complete this lab a new HTML tag was introduced, the <table> tag which creates a table. however that isn't the only tag necessary to complete the lab we also needed to use the <tr> and <td> tags. tr signified a row on the table and td signified a row in the table; with all three tags we could create and manipulate a table into what we needed. The actual table we created consisted of three columns and twenty rows. The three columns are the color name, hexadecimal value, and the actual hue. Each row had a different hue and the first row is the titles for the columns. We didn't have regular colors, such as red or blue, we had absurd hues that had names you only see on crayons like Dark Magneta and Midnight Blue. Of course we didn't know the hexadecimal value of the hues; therefore we used w3schools to search up the values, it had it

Lab16: My First JavaScript

Image
This lab was the very first time we implemented JavaScript into our webpages. While we have been practicing JavaScript on code.org, that was the only platform we used. Now for the first time our website have HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It may not be complex JavaScript, but it is a small step as an introduction. The lab was just create a button that when pressed would change the contents of the paragraph written. We also create a base format for our webpages so wouldn't have to keep repeating the same long process of writing the basic html codes. The button was quite easy to create because all that was needed to be done was to create a button tag inside a script tag. The script tag specifies that whatever inside the tag is pure JavaScript and the button tag is exactly was the name entities, a button. It was small step, but I suppose we will build off these skills until we eventually get into complex JavaScript.

MLH Local Hack Day 2017

Image
This past Saturday, December 2, Queens College hosted a local hackathon on their campus. As a student currently enrolled in a computer science class it was a great opportunity for me and other classmates to learn and showcase our skills. Walking into the hackathon was a little bit daunting because most if not all the participants were college students except for me and the other people from my class that also attended. However, once the actual event began I didn't feel out of place, on the contrary the people where very nice and welcomed me even though I was very young. The first secession/activity was a sort of free learning hour where we had the freedom of doing whatever we wanted. The organizers gave us a link to the MLH website and there were multiple activities that we were able to do, but they all involved programs that I was unfamiliar with and they all were very complex. Therefore, it was basically an hour of just learning what different programs did and the basic commands
