High School Open House At I.S 126Q - November 14, 2017

  On November 14, 2017, Ms. Tellez had invited me to do a High School Open House at I.S. 126Q. I was given this certain opportunity because I'm an alumni of that school itself. I remember graduating and making great memories in that school so having the chance to go back was something to certainly look forward to. I went in order to represent the Web Academy alongside Minhaj. It started at about 4:30pm and would finish at almost 7pm. We had to set up our tables and presentation in the class that we were given for our school only. That's how it was for all the high schools on the third floor. We waited about 10 minutes for parents to come in and to my surprise, we did have a lot parents interested in us. I was the one doing most of the topic and briefly trying to present the huge benefits of the Video and Web Academies in Information Technology High School. I feel like my words did reach a lot of students and parents as they came to me after every presentation with plenty of questions and this facial expression of interest. It really meant a lot seeing my work motivate those under me to pursue something related to what I already do. Every presentation I did was about 10 minutes each and it was for every round of families in the classroom that would take turns sitting in for it.
   At the end, I felt a huge sense of relief and determination hoping to inspire more kids to want what I already have in this class. I spoke my personal feelings of loving the Web Academy and how great the family is. I spoke about how Info Tech is a decent school compared to other NYC High Schools and my favorite part was seeing so many of my middle school teachers recognize me and give me a big old hug. It honestly felt so great realizing how much I've grown as a person and as a student. I got a huge insight during this open house! :)

Lab 29 Reflection

Image
 Lab 29 was the sixteenth video to the whole Javascript30 series and what I have to do for this one was to have text where it would have many different shades of colors to it when moving the mouse all over the page. So basically, I customized the website so that it would have the word "WOAH!" and many different colors that would go with the background gif I found on the internet. The background gif actually comes from a tv show I used to watch and its pig that blinks named Waddles. I really like how Waddles is right in the middle giving this simple website some color and vibrant vibes. The pink header fit in with my background perfectly and having the words be of various other colors, it was able to stand out from the almost dominant pink background.    Overall, this lab was fairly simple and easy to finish in my opinion. It was easy to change things up in the menu in order to personalize the website. all I had to do was have a text that would have more text move wh...

Dropbox Trip Reflection Journal 04/24

Image
    So, while sophomores were taking PSATS and juniors were also taking SATS, a couple of us lucky Web seniors were able to go on an exciting trip to Dropbox. It was located near 23rd street on either the E or M train, which was very convenient for all of us. We had to be there at around 12:45pm, which was not possible and ended up getting there a little after 1. It affected us negatively as we were behind schedule, as well the Dropbox people said, so couldn't fully enjoy their working space and environment.     We got to the building and Dropbox was located on one of the floors. The other floors were also occupied by other companies such as SoundCloud, which I found to be very cool. Anyways, we take the elevator to go up to them and are greeted by this nice and warm lobby. We meet the lady named Sarah, which hosted the whole event for us. After greeting one another, we were finally able to walk in through the glass doors leading to office. Walking in, it felt like ...

Lab 17 Reflection

Image
   Javascript30 is an intense coding program which is free and anybody can join. It is designed to be able to complete 30 days worth of several Javascript aspects and skills in the matter of 30 hours or so. We had to watch a video for each day, which in them the guy would explain step by step to have the various skills of Javascript to function properly on any HTML Page. Lab 17 was the fourth video to this whole series and basically all you had to do was check the console of the page. You can check my right clicking on the mouse or using two fingers on a mac and you'll see some sort of tabs pop-up. You would click on the one that says "Inspect" and you'll be able to thoroughly look through the code and the console itself. In the coding, I wrote a lot about people's first and last name and years; it was a lot of information and you won't see this on the page but the console, which stores data. At the end, you would just refresh the page and you'll see a lot...
