By using boards, we conducted electricity, played games and instruments with play-doh!
The kids used alligator clips to connect to ground (on the board) then connected the other end to earth (themselves). They connected more alligator clips to the board, which was connected to a laptop, and with the other end, it was either connected to the following: banana, play-doh, lead, bread, or coins. |

Reflections:Today I learned about a little robot that I am going to buy. It was fun and I learned how to control it. -Wendy
When I came in I wasn't expecting much but I actually had fun. Although I already had experience with coding and I kind of already knew how to this, I still learned knew things. It was a great experience. -Jung-Mi To begin with the thing I like was when we went versus each other and how we worked in teams. Also that we had to think about how we're going to make it. At first I was scared. -Yessika To begin with, Today was fun because I was playing with and I was controlling the robot. I learned new things like coding a toy and a new company. -Markelsi Today we programmed the sphero. For the sphero you had to take it each step at time. My Favorite part was racing with program we coded. -Quetzalli I had fun today at Girls Who Code, it was scary. We won, thanks to a girl. -Emily |

Today I learned about a new thing that you could play in. And today I made a new Friend. And my group made a game of Simon Says. And I made a bright LED light bright. -Markelsie
In today's lesson, I learned about Arduinos. I didn't learn much about what the me ant but it was cool to copy what we saw in the handbook. We actually made a game which I thought was very fun since it was a memory game. It was cool too play a game that I had created! (plus my group) -Jung-Mi Today I did code stuff that was pretty cool! I connected all the wires and stuff to. I learn that the long side goes to the plus side and the other is the negative side. -Joselyn Today we worked with an Arduino board. We started with a simply circuit 1, then we started a circuit 16 which was more complicated. The circuit 16 was the most complicated and it took us about 10 minutes. -Quetzalli Today's experiment was amazingly cool. I was fascinated by how the mother board (Arduino) works when you connect all the wires together. I love how you can play little games on it and it's a bit challenging to put together but worth it in the end. I had lots of fun and hope to continue in this club. -Alyssa My reflection of this Girls Who Code is good because I learned something new today. I was fascinated by how the mother board (Arduino) works when you connect it and you play a game. - Martha Today in Girls Who Code, I learned what an Arduino is and what it does. An Arduino is this little rectangle electronic called a breadboard that has many different circuits that you insert wires through. Once you finish inserting it, LED lights will light up. -Myelin |

What I liked about today is the website we did. I liked how we can show our work to other people in a website. -Yessika
Today we worked on six and built a website about ourselves. On my website I wrote about activities I do after and in school. I put about me in Music, Lit, and I was working on the sports section. -Quetzalli Today's meeting of Girls Who Code was interesting. We learned how to make our own digital portfolio that will one day come in handy. We got to design it our self and add things that we like to do and interests to share with others. I hope to post things and pictures! It was fun and a bit challenging. -Myelin Today I got to work with computers! I had a lot of fun mostly because I love designing things. Although I don't think I'm good at designing, I really do it a lot. I got to learn how to make a website and how a portfolio is very important. Today was a great day. - Jung-Mi |

Today I had fun. We did well, we tried to make bookmarks. It was hard to do. I had fun at Girls Who Code. (= -Emily
Today we started/made light up bookmarks. Also I learned to sew. It was very fun. Lastly today was my first day. It was very fun; David helped me, he also messed mine up, he also said he sucked. - JaQué Well, today was fun. It actually was fun bit I didn't really get the light on the bookmark to light up. I actually got to see which was pretty cool but I just think I would have felt more accomplished if the lit up. Oh well. -Jung-Mi Today I learned to make a LED light. And I made two new friends, Karl & David. -Markelsie We learned to make bookmarks with an LED light and batteries and it has color on the light. -Daisy Today we used a LED light, some special thread, and a needle. We made a bookmark with a Light in the pattern. My Bookmark was in a shape of a heart. I got mine to work the first time. - Quetzalli |
