Arduino Project

Program is below, My impression is that the arduino is a very fun and educational way of teaching how the codes and the hardware are connected, and being able to do it online without the need of the real arduino hardware is really advantageous during the pandemic situations. I also think that the use of systems like arduino should be encouraged in all kinds of education level, it could create a great base for the people interested in electrical or computer engineering.

Educational game design with MIT App Inventor

In the second page I set the blocks for the answers, buttons, images, and text by using the initialize global block, then I created the "ShowQ" procedure which is the main procedure that is needed for my game. "ShowQ" begins when the screen2 is initialized. "ShowQ" procedure creates the questions that appear in the game and brings them on the screen, in the beginning of the "ShowQ" I used 2 blocks to add +1 to the value of "QuestionNumber", this allows the game to begin since the normal value of the "QuestionNumber" is 0 and changes the question when the previous one is done. I added the "set ... to" + "text" block to change texts and images

VEX Code

With the VEXcode VR I created a program with code blocks to help a robot with a camera to complete a maze. As you can see here this is the maze. It is filled with different coloured blocks. These blocks help the robot to understand its surroundings and move according to them. In order to allow the robot to actually use the different coloured blocks as guidance I wrote a small code by using code blocks. This is the code I wrote, what this code does is is that it allows robot to move according to the different coloured blocks. I specified the turning and moving speed, I also added a black coloured pen to allow robot to mark the way it had passed. When the robot sees the colour I ask the robot does the next command I put, which is the turn block I used in order to guide the robot to the next target. And lastly when the robot reaches the destination, which is the red block, the robot stops. This is the finished state of the maze and the program. I think that VEXcode has a very big pote
