Since the NCWIT deadline is fast approaching, we decided to give everyone a day to work on their NCWIT essays! Everyone worked hard on their applications, and got help from Akshara and Jasmine.

The original plans for today were to spend about half the time free learning Python based on skill level, and getting help if needed. We were also planning to do a cryptography lesson created by Akshara, but we decided to push that back until next meeting, and create a poster for Club Fair. Our poster turned out pretty good!
Everyone had a really fun and great time today! We started off by introducing ourselves, and then went into our Introductory Presentation. The club members filled out a google form, and we discussed the agenda for the year, along with the upcoming competitions. We also completed a really fun introduction to programming and input activity called "Programming Peanut Butter and Jelly" (available here) It was really fun seeing how hard it was to actually input the right directions to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Everyone had a really fun time working together, and verbally problem solving. Akshara also created a pdf of Useful Links, that you can access here. |
