School Satchel Posts – Hack Club Scrapbook

Learned how to do a raspberry pi 4 setup headless cause I don’t have a microusb cable and found it that it can be used over my school blocking & remotely in general :)

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!

Working on the main game ui for my school final project. JavaFX is definitely a different type of library than I've ever used, but the fxml system is fantastic.

First Scrapbook post! Today I worked on this auction website for my school. Of course that .prevent right there will take me 1 hour of debug time :pain-gold:

Day 13 of #C045S4393CY| It's Friday! This means that I have a lot of free time after school and I realized something, my alarm app should be integrated into my clock app, and then I should redesign the clock app to make it look better since the original alarm look was the same since I first implemented it, so I am working on that, moving stuff around and making it look better to match the rest of the phone. The picture shows the updated look, I'm still not done with logic yet though. It looks good but there is a lot of stuff that is not done and I'll have to work on it more

Day 7 of #C045S4393CY|. Today I worked on my hacpad case, and got ready for submission. I also worked a little bit more for a Hack Club application in my school.

Day 6 of #C045S4393CY| Today I got started with the application for starting a Hack Club in my school, and sent an email to jhopefully get it approved. Iwas pretty swamped with school work, but I was able to make some progress on mys hackapad case.

hi, i’m guac and this is my first scrapbook post! i just did scrapyard austin and i feel wayy more inspired to actually code things instead of just… breaking them. i like Python and Java like a basic bitch, but i’ve also been using C# and .NET for a school project and oh my god it’s like if you could actually make GUIs in Java… anyways i bought a kick-ass little $30 ESP-32 demon that has some DANGEROUS capabilities, and i think my next project is to write some firmware for a hardware cryptography module i bought for it!

day 6 of #C045S4393CY| i had some fun writing code to use my school directory and scrape it :yay:

day 2 of #C045S4393CY|. day 1 was NOT a success and my goal(s) have switched completely to prioritize a semi-personal school project. made a sticker name thing logo idk what to call it for "Tech"

Day 2 || 2 of <#C045S4393CY|> Today was a bit of a nightmare—spent 13 hours at school, including 3 hours on an impossible test. :face_with_spiral_eyes: Aside from that, I started getting back into Slack bots and might build one out. Also, I learned how to create GitHub Actions, so now I can make a website that updates from a GitHub repository! 🚀 Check out what I worked on today!

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/a0a23ef8-4e21-42a0-af7a-9bbef341bb9f-8f8a9291-aeb9-4c79-bb95-2df71aeedef3.png

more backend based stuff but did change scrollbar and added api so now it pulls real lessons and weeks teachers have "-" tho so i dont leak their names but that does work and the extra periods and issue with code just for some reason school added extra useless periods at start and end of day

github.com/recaptime-dev/hcb-explorer-discord Currently /hcb org and /hcb balance are supported at the moment but will port more features of @AdrianT 's @HCBTransactionFetch for Discord usage in the future, just I am currently being cooked at school rn.

Finally finished my project, bgChange! Not the most complicated, but hey! It works. Kinda funny how this all originated from rebellion against the school's refusing to let us change our backgrounds.

I had a day off school today due to the snow, so I got a good bit done. I finished the automatic saving feature in Codeboard scribbles, and I started working on saving before leaving the page and a keyboard shortcut for saving. I worked for a while on the 5 page proposal for my #C08525UQNSF| (STEM Racing) team too.

Made a website for my school project, BataSync

Yesterday I helped run the computer science table at our school district's middle school academy fair! talking hundreds of middle schoolers was very taxing, but it actually went great, we had a crowd around our table the entire time! I obviously advertised Hack Club a ton even though I was low on posters & flyers-- people loved the Sprig, the LED matrix (upcoming ysws 👀), the stickers, and most of all, the game! I projected my #C07MUFXNG82| pinball game onto the ceiling to draw people over & gave candy to people who could score 1000! I wanted to buy a gong with school budget that we could hit every time someone beat the high score, but even though it (shockingly) got approved it didn't arrive in time. Definitely gonna recreate this setup in the future!

today was filled with lots of school work speedrun lol: • pulled an all nighter • today a local business reached out for a poster design so ive been trying to make one (also i asked before i posted it here just to make sure they were cool w it :) ), this is the first very rough draft to just make sure im getting what they want but ill pretify it later: • not much progress w @loumakespopculturereferences (idk why the name isnt changing sob), just added a few more emotions and that was it. i do plan to ship it tmrw tho. learning ab slack bots is interesting to say the least lol • been a really weird day where i live so ive been keeping up w that, might make a website hopefully before christmas to document it since i feel like alot of ppl dont quite understand the situation rn

Updated pop music website! Fixed slideshow, updated navigation bar, hamburger menu and also improved on the JavaScript code... My goal with this is to convince our school to let us have a space for student websites that we'd voluntarily make for fun… If anything I'm learning something new by making a site about a hobby
