Initially, I attempted to prepare by brushing up on my skills with python. This turned out to be pointless mainly because most of the coding languages we were using to adjust the functions of our Tinyscreens and Arduino were in C++. I also brought a water bottle and a backpack in case we were given homework-type assignments, though the backpack never got any use the first week.
My first thoughts on the research projects that I have been working on are "Wow, that was easy. But what else can I do?" They began to spark my imagination, causing me to think in new ways and want to see what these electronics can do. And our mentor is amazing, encouraging trial and error to learn. When I was trying to add an extra note to the Arduino trumpet, I looked at the arrangement of the board and began shifting just about everything around after being encouraged to try again until I eventually got it to work
What I'm looking forward to next week is returning to push what these circuit boards can do more and more with the other attendees. It's been a lot of fun so far so I'm hoping the more complex topics they present will be just as intriguing.
