@KarthickArun1Me wishing school tomarrow was the April fools joke from my school
@sahitid0:kitty-dance: 🌸 *days of service ship incoming:*:kitty-dance: 🌸
Blossom 🌸 was held in Atlanta, Georgia from March 15-16th.
working closely with the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta :girl-scouts:, i had the privilege of organizing a day-long event that brought together a team of high school female mentors and dozens of eager girl scouts. beginner girl scouts embarked on exciting journeys - from crafting their own PCB :pcb: keychains that they later had manufactured through #onboard to delving into an introduction of javascript :js: to code drawings on #blot the drawing robot. every girl went home with a unique new hardware or software project that they 100% created themselves, but most importantly, the confidence needed to pursue coding further :blobheart:.
we also had a brilliant dinner (with ricotta balls :blobby-doughnut:) the night before with 28+ women in technology and STEM who guided us with their stories and experiences in their fields. all the high school mentors and i were fueled for the day ahead of us by the end of the night:half-salute:.
it was so motivating to see girls who had never touched code before leaving the event with the confidence that they had a place in the world of technology & finished projects that they could show off.

@KarthickArun1First day of school back from spring break freedom but yesterday when I was in break still , I was looking at me 3 raspberry pi’s I have , one is a b+ 2017 version ( I brought it to leaders summit) , wanted to do some cool stuff with it and decided on building a retro pie, with built in cooling through some fans and heatsinks and retro controllers and case , and I have some amazon gift cards from my bday and earlier stuff so I’m planning on using that all for this , it’d be pretty good to have a retro console i put together.
@CassidyCodes0Dang it I lost my streak i think i forgot to post yesterday| Anyways My #onboard pcb is arriving tomorrow, Im Excited and can't wait to showcase it at school to my hackclub
@CassidyCodes0Wish me luck guys today my principal will view the club proposal
@CassidyCodes0JLPCB PCB UPDATE: | Keep Posted Guys In A While I Will Post Images of my club making their pcb's for #onboard |
@phaedra0I built a student portal/site for my school! In the future, there may be AI and official district portal features thrown in as well, but at the moment it's primarily being used for my school's course selection since that's what's happening right now at school. I'm so happy to have finished building it! It's a project that I've been hoping to launch since my freshman year of high school but never had the coding expertise to execute, and now it's open-source and live for the 1,700+ students at my school to access! Using Next.js, React, and the magic of the Google Sheets API, I was able to sell the course catalog that my school has (and I now encourage you to check it out)! It's now available at mybla.vercel.app :D
It's been awkward walking around and seeing people compliment the project due to seeing my name in weekly announcements but I'm happy that it already has a happy user base even after being released for a short while.
@jdogcoder0In Rwanda for a docu project with school! About to finish week 2 of 3 and having a blast! Yesterday we visited the Diane Fossey Gorilla Fund Museum, and it was super cool! More updates in #jasper-does-circus-plus-cats and here when I get back :)
@VihaanSondhi0Day 12 of #100-days-in-public, I didn't really do much work because of school, but i spent a little while on this
@HenHen0Day 12 of #100-days-in-public! Spreading propaganda around my school
@VihaanSondhi0Day 10 of #10-days-in-public, prolly going to actually get to work on my original project tmrw! Watched a video and created a bunch of sample plugins. I would do more, but I have school hw 😞 . Also I got nerd sniped yet again by discovering thesephist.com + github.com/thesephist. The coolest thing is that Linus apparently used to work here
@yazide0this is me, 8th day of #10-days-in-public, but this isn’t me doing nothing, this is me after the meeting with the school directors to approve the Student’s Union plan to allow students to vote through SDEPid (the facial recognition system)
@Kieran0Day 6 of #10-days-in-public: i was way too busy with school and robotics today to work on my website but I got to go to a maple syrup farm on a field trip and work on my teams robot; only one auto mishap today!
@yazide0Day 6 of #10-days-in-public, we can't actually show this (cuz we are now a team), but we have decided a different approach, instead of knowing who actually is each person, we are going to discard those who already voted, so the program now searches for people that already voted. And we are going to provide this tool via MDM to our School's iPads. And we finally finished the Forms and Excel infrastructure, plus the letters, both for those classes in which the voting is finished and those in which not, they are now finished!
@yazide0day 1 of #10-days-in-public too! I'm currently making some stuff related to facial recognition on my school to ensure that everyone that submits a form actually is a person! we've got some hackers @ my school lol
@adammakesthings0Yet another missed scrapbook day! (i am very bad at this)
Spent 4 solid hours teaching fellow students to use the laser cutter/dealing with problems, then helped out with a middle school robotics program. In other news working on a new project 👀 (i cannot stop starting new projects and never finishing them please help :tw_sob:)
@OrbitalDev0T-67 Days until Orpheus wins!
Okay so I'm literally writing this right before I go to bed. I'm super tired because It's been a long day, but here are some notes of what I did today!
• Started reading They Both Die at the End. It's really good so far, and I'm halfway in. I'll probably be a bad kid and stay up and read some more
• I practiced esperanto on duolingo... I'll probably step up my practicing this friday because I'll be on my way to camp this weekend again.
• Finished the rough draft of Episode 2 of my serial novel, Zero Gravity (now publishing on Kindle Vella and Wattpad!)
• Explored some new songwriting ideas
• Got my learner's permit... Oh, and my license to kill, but that's a secret 😉
• Wrote some stuff for school
• Wrote this little scrapbook post
Anyway that's all, folks. Stay hacky!
PS: You get... A bad 11pm selfie because I took absolutely zero pictures of anything I did, and I don't want to spoil the next episode of Zero Gravity (even though it's kinda predictable tbh)
@OrbitalDev0T-69 Days until Orpheus house wins!
I was really tired/dehydrated/whatever from school and stuff today, so I didn't do a lot. I recorded a recording of Love Story lyrics over my version of Romeo's Love Story, but it's really bad quality, so don't blame me if you listen to it.
Ofc, I kept duolingo-ing.
Stay hacky and go team Orpheus!

@cytronicoder0mmm, there's #100-days left of 2023 - what better way to kick things off than a revamp of my life? 💜
introducing v2.cytronicoder.com, the latest edition of my portfolio which I started last year. featuring the comeback of my ✨ projects ✨ showcase, as well as a brand new purple theme + profile picture rotation based on my Slack profile pic over at slack.cytronicoder.com! :slack:
additionally, non-hacky stuff: I opened up (sourced?) my two spotify playlists @ my profile (psst listen to the alternate version its honestly better) and my React workshop @ buildingbloCS! go check them out, and feel free to reuse the workshop materials :roo-love:
finally, i'm really excited to tell yall that my abstract on single-cell embeddings and spacial distributions (quite a mouthful tbh) has been selected for both a poster and oral presentation @ GIW ISCB-Asia 2023:partyparrot:now comes the part where I go on an indefinite hiatus to work on my final paper, presentation, and poster + school summatives
@davidm0i got around to updating our school's page which included
1. adding emojis to each header
2. adding a donation box
@arav0learning rust! (frankly because I'm procrastinating doing school work)
@Shreeya0Hello Delhi, I have got multiple submissions on the 10th and I am roaming around...
I have a love-hate relationship with my school
@ZeroQL0#w-of-the-day day 159
Summer's approaching, that means its time for unnecessary but important school projects season :angry-duo:
I have to complete a project for each subject of mine so I'm starting early
@alialiwa20050In May 2023, I have, for the first time, sponsored & organized a hackathon! 🎉
The event invited fellow students of all levels of mastery in computer science, and allowed participants at my school to form teams, make friends, innovate, win prizes, sharpen skills of all types (computer science, entrepreneurship, and beyond), and have a fun & memorable experience. 🎁
It was also a major personal goal for me that I am happy to have achieved before I graduate high school. :smiley-twemoji::thumbsup-dino:
Taking my past personal memories at hackathons I've attended, such as BetaNYC (March 2020) and Hack Club's Epoch Vermont (December 2022) :epoch:
The 2-day-long McCown Hacks :mccownhacks: also made a great closing to the third year (2022-2023) of Gaynor McCown Hack Club :gaynormccown:, and an awesome milestone of my nearly complete high school career 🎓 , in which my passion for computer science was sparked! :gaynor-mccown-gradient:

@Shreeya0I forgot that i have psychology class presentation today
Did the research yesterday late night and now I need to leave for school in 10 mins☠️
Where are the practice hoursss!!
Also I am psychology test today*
@Marios0Was studying basic computer science for school and accidentally dropped my book... Woops it now is splitted in many parts. let's call it a "feature" now
@ZeroQL0#w-of-the-day day 129
More C++, i've signed up myself up for a school competition to see how far i can take C++ skills (also as a mild excuse to get a break from physics pain but we don't talk about that)
got a small math test tomorrow so studied for it, nothing else
@Sameer0ANIME BREAK! ANIME BREAK!:beatsaber: Everyone get an anime break!!
Man how i binge watch entire seasons!:sadcatok:
Current watch : Welcome to Demon school! Iruma-Kun
@Marios0Surely nothing will go wrong with light gaming! 🙃
p.s.I worked on a simple Godot game for school, turns out their computers sre so old it didn't have OpenGL2
@ShubhamPatil0Just found a Qatarian Riyal casually chilling in my school today
@ZeroQL0#w-of-the-day day 117
ok small post since I'm really tired, i aced my math test with a near perfect score and so that's awesome, other than school i didn't do anything other than watching youtube videos and solving some more rustlings exercises
@ZeroQL0#w-of-the-day day 107
Oh man this is gettin hard, I’ve had to stay up till 2 again so I could finish my chem homework and my school project, nothing else today
@Sarthak0After months of hardwork, the soundboard project has been completed! Onto testing and helping non-verbal and semi-verbal students express themselves across our high school campus :)
@parkalex3800More abuse of school google drive :bsod_smile:
@Sarthak0Learning about diffusers with fast.ai has been really interesting. Today, I tested what I'd learned by hosting a mini-lecture with some of my peers that are part of our school's Hack Club, and began to dive deeper into U-Nets and Variational Autoencoders to understand how diffusion models work under the hood. We also continued work on our soundboard!
