Day 6 1. Went into school early to study for my afternoon Level 3 Economics exam (Year 13 exam, I’m in Year 12) 2. Had my exam! It went pretty well and I think that was an excellence! 3. Got home and had a meeting for #C08HX0F11BP| 4. Started making the budget for #C08HX0F11BP| 5. Played games for the rest of the night to relax for once, no exams for a week so will be working on #C07KRNHG339| bts! Not crazily productive but had an exam that went well so it evens out (Had to repost to add an image for scrappy 8 hours later :3kcursed:)

Yo Hack Club! 😎 So I hopped into the 50-Day Challenge with a couple of goals that I really wanna lock in before the year ends, and honestly… it’s been going well so far. My goals are: 1. To build a solid robotics team at my school. 2. Make better use of GitHub and jump into more collab projects 3. Level up my web dev skills + overall tech stack And today I’m hyped to share a little win: I just crossed 400 GitHub contributions! Slowly building that clean-looking contribution graph, one commit at a time 😌 This whole 50-Day Challenge is kinda my way of squeezing the most out of the last stretch of the year learning, building, and having fun with it. More goals getting crossed off soon. Stay tuned 🚀💫 GitHub: <http://github.com/Louis2324|github.com/Louis2324>

Day 1/50! Today I've: • Done ~1 hour of work on my games for #C09EZSEMB16|. I got a friend to play through my platformer and by the way she was struggling I can see that I need to make the player movement and level design a lot more forgiving. Also massively reduced the CPU usage of my Hackatime desktop pet • Spent most of the day studying physics at school with a mate, now doing past papers in preparation for tomorrow (Feeling confident for Mechanics, less so for Electricity) • Sat a practice test for my licence exam and got 33/35! :yay: I think the strat is just to spam practice exams until I feel confident enough to do the actual exam • Cleared out my Anki backlog for Japanese

Good morning everyone! (oh shoot, it's actually 4pm here rn... it still feels like morning lol) Yesterday Luca ( @Slloom ) and I finished the boba drops workshop with our club! (Almost) everyone was able to submit, but hopefully everyone else will be able to submit it within a few days. Shoutout Natalie (@?) who went above and beyond on her website and kept adding to it in between meetings! Check it out here! I think Luca and I will plan to do swirl in the next few meetings, and then maybe we'll start to introduce limited time YSWSs. I've made some more updates to my personal website, mostly aesthetic. I moved The Ghost to a secondary page so the main page can be more of an intro. I've got a small About Me, some links, and a projects section. I want to set that bit up like the SoM projects page: image, description, links, etc. but I'm not sure how... Yet. Apart from that, I think I'll try to do Blueprint, since I never got to submit the project I made for Highway, but I may not get to it till after Nov 9 when I finish the play I'm part of, The Play That Goes Wrong. I'd like to do Moonshot, since I really enjoyed Juice, but my parents don't want me to go to any more travel HC events after Neighborhood (even though I wasn't there), which I get for safety reasons, but also I've found no other organization that does what HC does in terms of travel events. Maybe in a year or so, if HC implements enough safety policies and such to my parents satisfaction, I'll be able to go to another. We'll see. (If someone at HQ wants to hear what safety stuff, dm me, cuz I'm sure other parents would want them as well) Anyways, on a completely separate note, Everyone keeps mishearing "Hack Club" as "Hat Club" so I wonder if we should rename the club from a very boring school-name-hack-club to The Mad Hackkers. What do you think?

Luca ( @Slloom ) and I hosted our first ever Hack Club meeting on 9/25! We had way more interest than we expected - 8 people! We handed out snacks and stickers, and then had everyone get Github, VS Code, Slack, and generally get set up to code. Then on 9/30 we hosted a Boba Drops Workshop, and had even more people come - 10! Almost everyone finished the workshop in the time they could stay for (1-2 hours). It was super rewarding to see people who had literally never touched coding in their lives code a website they were proud of! There were a few who themed their websites around their favorite video games, and another kept working on it after and came up to me yesterday with a second page with lots of poetry :) It was cool to see how what they were passionate about leaked into what hopefully will become a new passion! Doing the Boba Drops workshop reminded me that I have a website that I should work on, but so far I've only made minor changes (I've been really busy with schoolwork and I'm in the school play!), so I'll save an update on that for another time. Keep an eye out for a post on 10/10 when we do demos of the websites people made!
