August 30th was the start of the new school year, and also the start of my time at the BHS Help Desk. I joined the help desk to learn more about different technologies and put my prior knowledge of technology to use, possibly through the helping of other students. During the first week of school, we learned more about drone technology. Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles, and the term "drone" covers everything from large military equipment to small toys. We learned how to use a few types of drones, including the more professional DJI Maverick as well as Tynker drones, which are used more for education and recreation. We also learned about the possible future of drones and how the adoption of drones into everyday life facilitates conversations about privacy and security. Recently, we have also started using an app called “Ready Maker”, which uses visual scripting and simplified object controls. In class, we followed a tutorial on how to make pong, which covered object creation, physics, graphics, movement and input, and scripting. Our pong games are almost done.
