Core 4

The Core 4 include variables, loops, conditionals, and functions. A variable is essentially a storage location for data in a program. A loop is a sequence of instruction that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached. Conditionals are if/else statements that are also classified as boolean conditions that can be evaluated to true or false. Functions perform a specific task or procedure.

Here are some examples of the Core 4 implemented in my own code.

To make loops and conditionals easier to understand, you can think of legal drinking at 21. If someone is under 21, the person cannot drink. However, when they become 21 years old, they can legally drink. To understand functions, you can think of footnotes in a book. Certain words are already defined at the bottom of the page and is used in the writing just like functions.

Obamicon

A list is a datastructure that stores any type of data that you may choose. It is useful because you can loop through a list and have these loops within a function.
The two partners around me, Layla and Hannah, and myself worked well together because we became familiar with our strengths and weaknesses when coding and used that to our advantages. We knew what we could help each other on and what we couldn't.

Today, we made our own Obamicon pictures. I chose a picture of Zayn because I am a huge fan of him and I've seen many fan edited pictures like this all over the Internet.

Robotics

Learning about robotics was a very interesting experience as I learned a lot such as the process of correctly engineering the robot is equally as important as correctly writing the code for it. I liked that there were many creative ways to engineer the robot as well as code it in unique ways.

Below you will find a picture of my Arduino robot that my group and I wired to light up an LED with a push button.

Gibson Dunn

Going to Gibson Dunn was my first time visiting a law firm. My experience there was truly eye opening as I was introduced to so many inspiring lawyers who specialize in technology. It gave me a greater understanding of how coding could be applied in law which truly broadened my perspective of coding being applied in the real world. I always love helping people in any way possible and these lawyers showed me how to help in such incredible ways with technology and I thank them for that. I would specifically like to thank Zakiyyah Salim-Williams, the Chief Diversity Officer of Gibson Dunn for organzing the entire event; Alex Southwell, Partner of Gibson Dunn who informed me about cybersecurity.

JavaScript

Javascript is an object-oriented computer programming language commonly used to create interactive effects within web browsers. You'll see that I utilized some of this programming language within my own website. For instance, you are able to hover over my social media bar and the photo of Zayn Malik. Javascript is an essential tool for front-end development as I like to think of it as useful for web design and aesthetic. Continue to look around my website for more interactive elements.

Django

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It provides a great help when it comes to web development as it takes care of the back-end programming of web development. I found it extremely helpful when creating my blog. I will surely be utilizing this framework in the near future for my own projects such as apps.

Object Oriented Programming

Object oriented programming was a very difficult part of learning how to code. Despite that, it's a very essential part of coding. I learned that its a language organized around objects rather than "actions" and data rather than logic.

IPSoft

IPSoft was a very interesting experience. I loved meeting Amelia, an interactive artificial intelligence program who is reinventing the user experience and defining the next generation of intelligent AI automation. Amelia is most definitely one of the most human AI that I have encountered. The girls and I worked in teams to come up with a business proposition as to what would best fit Amelia's capabilities as she serves as more than a simple chatbot.
