This week, we had our first Arduino Workshop! Arduino is a type of plug-and-play wiring making use of breadboards, capacitors and other devices. You code for it in a dedicated IDE and once the code is executed, it is saved to the Arduino board to run independently, on loop. We continued work on the ML…

This week was quite busy, so while a lot happened it is also a lot to remember to write down! We continued our machine learning, working on our aforementioned projects. We learnt how to use a camera to take photos and directly import them within the script, to instantly try and guess what the image…

This week, we continued our work on machine learning, beginning to move onto figuring out how to analyse photos. For this we initially used an existing dataset called FashionMNIST, which has the training photos already at the appropriate colouration and scale to speed up programming. We began looking into the theory behind neural networks, having…

This week, we began to learn MACHINE LEARNING. This is where through a series of complicated algorithms, a computer can take an input and provide output based on certain weights it has ascertained during a “training” period. We will be programming two basic Machine Learning codes for out project – A simple one about maths,…

This week was primarily finishing up existing projects and coursework, and making final touches, as it is the submission on Friday. We spent the entire week in supportive learning, simply doing what we had to. I spent this week writing up code documentation for the various programs I have made this term, doing the written…

This week, we continued work on our Weather Apps. We added more features with supportive learning – in my case I added wind direction, cloud cover, and current weather type. We enhanced the aesthetics of our site and began the Data Writeup task, where we had to write about a chapter of our choice from…

This week, we learnt about pulling data from an API. We made use of various APIs such as DogAPI and WeatherAPI, using tools such as postman to make search queries and draw data. We learnt about API keys and how to integrate them as we made multiple programs – the first one allowed the user…

The fifth week was almost exclusively supportive learning, where we worked more on our audio players and polished them, refining the code and adding CSS stylings. We had individual tutorials taking up a portion of the week, and learnt about JavaScript loops and functions additionally.

Continuing our learning with Javascript, we learnt how to design an audio player with working buttons to pause music, change songs, and change the progress of the song. Making use of Javascript arrays, we created a dynamic storage system for the songs, as well as associated title and image, which made it modular and easy…

Having been unwell towards the end of the second week, I was behind on work. Quickly catching up to what I had missed prior, we started learning about Javascript, making use of it to add interactable elements to the page.
