Raspberry Pi Kid: Recent Episodes
None
It has been a long time since I have posted a blog as I have been very busy with AP classes, SAT test, Robotics, Science Fair and much more, but I am back and will be posting regularly as my adventures in Science and Technology continue into my senior year of high school! Here is […]
Over the past year or so, I’ve had an incredible experience thanks to a friend, Mike Paul Hughes. Mike was an engineer for Lockheed Martin outside of Denver, Colorado. He has recently moved to Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. When I met Mike, he was working on a project called Osiris-Rex. This is a […]
One of these days, I’m going to do something on the Raspberry Pi that is going to work the first time. Today . . . is not that day. Liz and Eben Upton sent me a Raspberry Pi B+ and I was dying to see what’s new on it. I had some struggles getting NOOBS […]
My school has a Computer Programming/Raspberry Pi club that my dad and I host. Each time, we teach a lesson about the Pi, Python, Scratch, code.org, binary/hex, etc. and then students break into groups to learn about a topic of their choice. Some choose to go deeper into Scratch, others work on Raspberry Pi projects, […]
Here we go again . . . another story of following the instructions for a project exactly and failing miserably. A while back, I got a GrovePi and a bunch of sensors. It would be perfect for adding inputs to the Raspberry Pi since it has temperature, pressure, flame, light, sound, knock, distance, and more […]
I was selected as a Broadcom MASTERS semi-finalist! That’s top 300 in the country and two weeks from now, they’ll narrow it down to the top 30. Those 30 will go to Washington DC and meet the president, inventors, astronauts, and more! It’s going to be a stressful 2 weeks of waiting. I AM SOOOOO […]
I was nominated for Broadcom MASTERS again this year. If you haven’t been following for long, it’s like the International Science Fair but for middle school students. Tomorrow is they day that they announce the Semi-Finalists! I can’t wait!!!! The announcement is at noon eastern, so I think that’s 9 am California time. Wish me […]
Today, I got to go to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I just went on a field trip to Catalina Island with my school and the aquarium is right around the corner from where the boats leave to take people to Catalina. I love the touch tanks where […]
Today, we went to Disney Studios in Burbank. We went to the stages where the shows are made. We went to the stages for a show called “Intelligence.” We had lunch with Imagineers. I sat with an Imagineer named Amy Goodwin and she was inspired to become an Imagineer when she was at Disneyland […]
Today, I got to do several amazing things. I’ll start with the last one first. Tonight was the ISEF opening ceremonies and keynote speaker. The keynote speaker was Mike Ebeling. He’s the founder and CEO of “Not Impossible Labs” a group of inventors trying to improve the world and help people remain healthy and live […]
