Last monday bro!!! Its been a while since i last posted— I’ve been busy with work but now we’re finally free!!!! Now its just writing the paper and the symposium………. 5 days remain.

Since we talked last a bunch of things have happened! We went to Des Moines again, went to a “beach”, went bowling, grilled hotdogs, and most importantly, started coding! Most of the code is functional in parts but not together- so it’s been a rough week for troubleshooting and creating new scripts for our game…. I want the game to be finished by the end of this week, but the more errors that pop up the more unlikely it looks…and then we also have to have our presentation and posters done by next week. So much work, so little time~ We have CUNY presentations next week-so I gotta get back in the groove of talking in front of ppl and … Continue reading →

Research Question: Which GPS navigation system is more effective for drivers, Auditory and Visual or just Auditory? Hypothesis: Auditory and visual stimulation will be more effective for navigation. IV: What kind of navigation systems are used by subjects. DV: Navigation abilities. Methods: using a driver’s testing course to test subjects while displaying auditory and/or visual directions in order to measure the navigation performance and effectiveness through time trails. Through time trial measurements of the drivers we will be running a correlational study to determine how different input of GPS navigation affects ones directional skills.

Chat so much happened since we last chatted ~ On Saturday our hike got canceled due to the weather so we went to brunch instead. We also went to the water park later on. 8.4/10 Not enough stuff to do~ On Sunday I stayed in a little extra before working on our powerpoint for the STEMXR team meeting. Then yesterday, we began on our deeper dive MCAs and I did my first 3D print in ~10 years (I didn’t model it SAJ). Im trying to test a bunch of different mechanics with 3D printing like joints, chain links, mechanical compliance, and magnets to hopefully make something really cool. I stayed at VRAC until 10 pm working on homework with Angy … Continue reading →

That the first normal title for one of my blog posts…. Today we had our final craft of research where we talked about Discussion & Results with Yvonne. Afterwards we had our luncheon lecture with Eliot. He talked about some p cool stuff he’s done as well as discussing our current and future plans. We have dance class later today which…..is scary, but Ill tank it I guess. Game Corner Direct happened today~ twas meh ig Here are the games I’m excited for:

HCI 1: Research Rabbit Reset HCI 2: Those levers under swivel chairs that you have to use to know what they do

um so we finished c++ and solidworks…. Now time for the fun stuff (c++ was fun too). I made some cool stuffs in blender VVVV We met Edith and Sabi yesterday, and discussed more abt Storm Lake :p pretty exited abt actually going over there as well. The project seemed easy at first, but there’s SO much that goes into just the background of it…(I hope we’re able to finish it!!) Game Corner NINTENDO DIRECT NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY IM SO EXCITED RAHHHHHHHH

My arms feeling much better than yesterday…. Getting back into the groove of things is tuff… C++ and Git are annoying☹️. Going to actually have to lock in and pay attention to what I’m required to read. (I got embarrassed) Angie got me addicted to Hades and now I can’t stop playing it. My little brother’s birthday is next Friday too!

It’s been 7 days since we’ve made the treacherous journey towards Iowa and so much has happened… We got bikes, met new people, visited an escape room and so much more! Oh I also broke my arm, that’s important I guess…. Next time on REU Adventures- Will my arm heal before 5 weeks? Will we actually be able to get everything running? Find out next time.
