6/13 STEM SKILLS Coding

I took a coding class before coming here, honors math computer applications. However, these classes did not have a focus on python, instead it focused on html and other types of code. I also did a two week course, girls who code, but once again it did not teach me python. I chose to do the beginner course with codeacademy. In it, I covered syntax, conditions, loops, and more. There was coding in which we created a platform in which a user could type in an answer. I learned that you can set if and elif statements to correlate to certain conditions. One example is if x>5, "Hello World" will print. It was really fun to learn, but as I got further in some of it was a little complicated.

6/22/23 STEM in Society AI in Society

AI is becoming more prevalent in today's society. It has a bigger impact and more and more people are using it to complete simple activities or even have conversations with. This leads to the question of whether AI is conscious. I would believe that AI is conscious if it was able to relate to personal experiences and give answers as such rather than taking from others. One example is the use of empathy rather than sympathy. I would ask questions such as what makes them feel sad, happy, proud, and other emotions. Furthermore, I would ask for previous situations that the AI had faced. I look at it like this because I believe humans are conscious and have created their emotions and consciousness from experiences. I would expect relations from AI from their past experiences to their emotions.

6/16 Titanic AI STEM Skills

AI is a way for technology to develop the ability to perform tasks like a human. It can develop emotions or reasoning abilities. However, AI can also be used to complete other tasks such as predictions, scanning, even personalized shopping. In today's world AI is used to create more opportunities for people and corporations to become technologically advanced. Furthermore, in the future it is hoped to help with cars and the use of robots in everyday life. My team and I first started by discussing the chosen people. We started with the idea that all women would survive, however as we progressed in our project, we took into consideration the class. Women that were in the 3rd class were assumed to have died, while women in 1st class survived. Women in 2nd class had a varied amount of survival rates. When talking about the men, only first class would have survived. It was difficult to decide, but we also assumed that all children survived. When doing the code it was a littl...

6/26/23 STEM Skills visualization

1. I created both of these by changing the colors to green. I also changed the latitude and longitude of all the circles so some of them went off of the page. This led to the planets being out of order. 2. In the second visualization exercise, I used a Python program named maps.py along with a csv data file to create a map with the locations from the program. The maps.py program read and stored the CSV data. Then it completed a function from the imported folium library to create leaflet maps. Through a loop, the program printed the map with the dotted locations from the data file and ultimately saves it as an HTML file, which you can run on your browser. 3. For the third visualization exercise, I used a file named amanda_temp.txt, which consists of two columns of data with temperature and thermistor. The second column provides the best estimation of the corresponding depth of the thermistor, measured in meters. I used ChatGPT to dev...
