What is STEM?

 Today in class we talked about what STEM is. This is a question I have never really thought about in the past because I assumed that STEM was only science, technology engineering and math. In class today, I learned that STEM is involved in almost everything we do or experience in some capacity. STEM is involved in stuff we do including leisure activities like playing games or even relationships.



    My group chose the second scenario: Corporation(s) dominate a dystopian future. We incorporated a system that is already in the real world: the Metaverse. We decided to play off of a real STEM system but result in chaos. We proposed that Mark Zuckerberg's goal was to take over the whole world by using the Metaverse.

 Today my partner and I worked on circuitry. It was my first time working with circuits ever as well as my partner Micah's.  This played into the struggle of us trying to figure out how to do the circuitry. We didn't really struggle with the putting the circuits together but more with the coding. We went through lesson after lesson and only one of our designs worked. We tried coding in different ways with no positive result. At the end of the circuit lesson after we put away our supplies we realized we never ran the code and that's why all of our designs failed. I felt so stupid in that moment because we could've progressed much further if we had ran the code instead of just typing it. In the end I learned how to use a resistor and the different LED lights and have a better idea how a circuit board works. In conclusion, I need to make sure to run the code in order to expect results.

 Today I worked on redoing my design on CAD. The first day that I attempted using CAD, I struggled with using the program. I attempted to make a cactus. In my original design my cactus did not look like it was inside the pot. Because I already extruded the cactus, I couldn't figure out how to trim the cactus. I decided to start over today and make my cactus a key chain. I trimmed my cactus before extruding it, so I was able to make it look like it is growing in a pot. All I have to do create a hole in the cactus so I can make it into a keychain. Today we worked with our groups to make a website using the Engineering Design Process. My group came up with the idea of making an app that can help you buy clothes for the cheapest price. We started to make the website design. We decided to include customer reviews and try to have a drop down menu so customers can find their clothes easier. We also decided to allow customer to save their favorite stores so they can shop their preferred st...

       My group had the great idea of trying to find a way to shop easier. In other words, our idea was to create a website that allows you to compare the prices of the same products at different stores so you can find the cheapest one. This would stop people from having to go from place to place in order to find a product in their price range. This would also stop them from overpaying for a product.     One of the first things that me and my group members talked about was UI/UX. We knew it was important to have good user interface in order to attract customers to our app and to make the user's overall experience better. My teammates and I formulated different ways to make our app achieve good UI/UX. Micah researched color schemes and found that green is a color that is appealing. We also included pictures of clothes throughout the website which makes the website more appealing. In terms of UX we included customer reviews so the user is able to see how good...
