Collaboration

Collaboration

In my third-grade class, collaborative learning was introduced. We worked in groups of five students per group. Each group sat around the teacher’s desk and we learned together. We worked on our little projects, and after a few minutes, We left and another group sat around the teacher. Now, In fifth-grade, We are still learning in groups. I like doing fun projects in groups. Working together gives everyone equal opportunity to participate and communicate their ideas. My Bug Zero friends have done a lot of projects together in collaboration. During our projects, we have a common goal to solve a problem. We have shared ideas and thought about our options, our decisions, and our results. We love to work together to bring our projects to life. Here at Bug Zero, we work in teams to encourage teamwork.  When everyone does their part, it comes together as one. We all need to work together to build a solution.

Does Age Play a Role in Coding?

Does Age Play a Role in Coding?

Can you imagine what it feels like to code at 82?
I started at the age of 9. My oldest brother started at the age of 12 and Eugene started at 10.
There may be kids that are younger and are coding right now. There may be some adults that are older and they are thinking “No, I am too old to know how to code.” I always hear adults say “Oh, I am too old to learn how to code.” And some kinds think that coding is only for adults.
An 82-year-old app developer is showing that everyone can code. In coding, there is no age- restriction.
The only thing that restricts us is us. If you think you can’t do it, you may not be able to do it, If you believe you can, you will.

Now you can see, everyone, the young, the elderly, can code!

Can You? Really Do It.

Can You? Really Do It.

We have big dreams of things that we want to do and things that we hope to accomplish. Many people think they are too young or old. When you say that you want to learn how to code, a common response is “can you”? Some will say that is impossible. Some will say you did not study computer science in college.
You can do anything in coding and remember coding is not just for you. It is a problem-solving technique that helps other people. I think it is cool for everyone to learn how to do because I believe you can.
Everyone can code including kids.

 

Aftermath of Hurricane Florence

Aftermath of Hurricane Florence

Hurricane Florence was the first natural disaster that we have ever been to. Even though it has weakened to a tropical depression, it is not moving anywhere causing major flash flooding even inland of North Carolina and South Carolina. In the triangle area, we are still getting flash flood warnings. Fortunately, we did not lose power or have damaged property. Technology has helped us prepare for the hurricane.
Technology is helping keep track of the weather. It has also helped Duke Energy send text messages to residents giving an estimated time when power will be restored. Technology has helped us see real-time what the roads look like. Technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family. Technology
has been amazing. I have just counted a few of the many wonders of technology. Because of technology, much fewer lives were lost. I hope you all are having a great day, and I am sure kids are enjoying their breaks from school.
Many have lost their homes to flooding. Some are displaced. Some have lost their cars. Trees fell on some people’s homes. On TV, kids and the elderly who have been displaced are in shelters. It must be a very difficult time. On TV I watched the Salvation Army distributing food to people who have lost power since on Thursday. Volunteers helping others. One of the volunteers said she had lost power in her home since on
Thursday and even she were volunteering to reach out to help people.

Special thank you to all those helping others during and after Hurricane Florence.

Hurricane Season

Hurricane Season

The weatherman first broke the news about Hurricane Florence.
And it is here now. As the rain came down heavily, the trees swaying in a different direction! My brother asked me “What would we have done if there was no news”? Which basically means no TV, no Radio, and no internet. How would we have known that Hurricane Florence was coming? What was life like for people who live in areas with such a natural disaster? and I thought of the way change and help technology had brought.
Friends and family have called us from different parts of the world because they saw that Hurricane Florence is coming in our direction. Everyone was prepared, they bought flashlights, generators, canned food, candles. Some have gone to another state for safety.
Can you imagine if no one knew what was going to happen and Hurricane Florence suddenly showed up?
Kids at school, people at work. These are some of the differences technology has made. People are using apps to help people who are out there trying to keep people safe, keeping track of the storm, people are checking in their loved ones, people are capturing and sharing every moment. Even in a time like this, technology is making a whole lot of difference. There are many apps out there making a lot of difference but many problems still need to be solved, kids can solve those problems!

Don’t wait any longer, start learning how to code today!
