The Hidden Codes in our World

For my second unit in my computer science class, we started to work with coding. We started by learning how to print names and then slowly started moving towards more advanced things like trying to print equations. Eventually, we had a test on the basics of computer science and the terms of it as well. I didn’t do as well as I wanted to and I knew we would have a project on coding so I wanted to be prepare. For our second unit Action Project, we had to create two codes. Our first code had to be setting up an advanced calculator where it asks you for a number. For mine code I let people put the weather in Celsius and convert it into Fahrenheit. For the second code, we had to ask the user to insert personal information and write a letting like mad libs which is a game where words are left out so you can add your information. For this, I asked the user to insert their name, age, ward, and then asked them what issue they care about. For these codes I used a coding website called Trinket.io. You can try both of my codes below.
 


While creating both of my codes I really struggled to try to pick what I wanted to put into the codes. After getting help on what to do the only problem was trying to code it. After meeting with my teacher I really understood how to create my code and started to make my calculator. For my calculator, I was thinking about converting inches to centimeters. My teacher showed me how to do it but I didn’t want to use his example so I tried to do Celsius to Fahrenheit. After trying to coding it many times I couldn’t get it.  I looked up an example and watched a computer science teacher explain how to convert numbers and it helped me, even more, understand the basics of coding. Not being able to code at first was the most difficult thing in the project. After finishing the calculator I moved on to the fill in the blank part of the project. This side of the project was easier to do because of what I did for coding my calculator. Being able to code this was the easiest part of the project for me. When I first started this Action Project I had no idea what I was doing but when I finished I feel like I have learned so much about coding. Thank you for talking a look at my codes.

Surviving Failure

For my class Endurance, We study the skill of endurance. We started with reading the book Night and digging deep. We did three great Projects this term all leading up to each other. For the final project for the year, we created our Survival Guide takes you through what the future holds for us. For me it a life of failing and getting back up. I have failed and hope to fail more to get where I want to in life. I have nothing else but to succeed and I will do just that. My teacher SH taught me so much this year that I will remember for the rest of my life. Even though I am not the best student I don't let it hold me back from other opportunities God gives me. SH showed me who I can be and about the world. I hope SH keeps helping young students reach their full potential in school and not in school. I want to thank SH for helping me, graduate. I hope you enjoy my final Action Project of the year. Thank you. Surviving Failure by PA GCE Lab School.PA.2021

Curing Migranes

In my class called Cure, this term we learned a lot  about different types of medications and drugs that treat and cure illnesses and diseases. For this Action Project, we had to pick a symptom  of illnesses and diseases and find three different types of treatments. We had to pick a prescription  drug, an over the counter drug and treatment that isn't  a pill type medicine. For my project, I chose migranes  because my mom gets them often and thought she could help me and to see what she takes to get treated. The reason I picked the pictures of the molecular structure and the human head is because that represents the lock and key mechanism. The lock and key mechanism show how medicaments work on their molecular structure. If the molecular structure fits good with the medicament then it works better than ones that don't. It called lock and key because some keys fit in locks and some don't just like different medicaments. Cefaly does not have a molecular struc...

Hello. My name is PA. For my class called Rhetoric we learned a lot. In this class we learned a lot about American history and how America was founded. We also went on many Feild Experiences, but one that stood with me was someone that ran for mayor coming in and talking to us. I found his story very interesting and took a lot away from it. He talked a lot about many different issues in todays world. For our Action Project we had to create an art peice that is about a issue thats happening today. I created a pinata house to represent Mexicans that come to Chicago illegallly but are salf untill ice comes. Casa De Papel, PA , 2019 Casa De Papel, PA , 2019 Casa De Papel, PA , 2019 My name is Paolo Aguilar and I am of Mexican descent.  I currently live in Chicago, IL. My artwork addresses immagration and the deportation of Mexicans that have immigrated to the United States. Immigration in Chicago has become an important issue due to the hostility of our current p...
