First Week - Ahmed Mroue

 

First Week

    This week was my first week in the program of Young Scholars: PATHS-UP at Rice University. I knew that I would be getting into a lot of Computer Science and STEM related activities so I was excited to start learning at this program. I didn't really do anything to prepare for this program, but I already have a lot of experience with Computer Science and Arduinos so I felt comfortable going without much practice.

    My first day was relatively boring since I was going over stuff I had already been taught in school in some of my classes, but when I started to actually work with the Arduinos that is when I had a lot of fun. All of the projects that we have done so far, whether it is the Simon Says game we made, or the Pulse Oximeter on the TinyScreen, all of them have been really fun and interesting to do! My favorite part would probably be when I got to work on the Arduino and create a Simon Says game and a Display Screen and have it display whatever I want.

I'm looking forward to completing the TinyScreen within the next few weeks and whatever projects that we will be doing in the next week because I find all of those enjoyable.
