Input Manipulation Using Python

Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the projects in the Computer Science class. In Computer Science we have been learning about different types of coding and how computers work. We have done math problems in binary code and practiced making something from using python. In these two projects we used python to code a advanced calculator that you can use to find what the temperature in Celsius is based off of your input of your temperature outside in Fahrenheit. The second project here is a code that uses your inputs to create a letter to a state representative to talk about something important to you. Both of these codes have been checked multiple times to see if there were any errors or changes that needed to be made. If you would like to try them out for yourself you can do so by typing in your responses on the right to the questions that are asked.

The first project is an advanced calculator that takes an input of a given temperature in Fahrenheit and converts it into Celsius for the user. I was able to do this by putting the formula into python and having the user enter a number that follows that formula to calculate the result. To run this and see how it works all you need to do is type in the temperature in Fahrenheit for you and press enter.

Advanced Calculator:


The second project is a form letter that could be used when writing about some community issues or problems that you care about to a state representative or alderman. This code requires multiple inputs that the user puts in and then it will print them out into a group of sentences. To see this function you just answer the few questions that it prompts you with and will create the letter.

Form Letter:

Those are both of the coding projects that I have created. I hope that they were easy to manage and worked well for you. I had some fun when building them and its nice to see that after many tries you can eventually get your code fixed. Creating the calculator was a little challenging when trying to make the formula run smoothly and have the code identify certain pieces as integers that have to be put into a string for it to be layed out like that. Sometimes the coding can be complicated but I solved it in the end thanks to feedback and my father who works a web designer. It was cool to see what other projects my classmates made compared to my own and see their process of creation. Coding can be used for so much more than changing Fahrenheit to Celsius and I can't wait to use it more in the future.

I Am a Peacebuilder

This post is for the Civic Term class Global Peace. In the three weeks of this class we covered sarvodaya, satyagraha, and Sharpe's 198 Nonviolent Methods of Nonviolence. Sarvodaya and satyagraha were concepts by Gandhi. Sarvodaya explains that all are rising and is supposed to be an answer to all "isms" such as capitalism or communism. The large list of nonviolent methods consists of speeches, marches, strikes, physical interventions, peaceful noncooperation, boycotts, and more. For this project I chose to focus on homelessness in Chicago. In the large city you can find tent cities or people camped on the street in many places. With the weather in Chicago living outside with only a small shelter or none at all can be difficult for surviving. The city is also dotted with empty lots or abandoned land. I believe these plots of land can be redesigned into housing for the homeless. Each person or group of persons depending on their situation would have a small residence where...

The USS Hermit, A Ship to the Future

Hello, this is my Action Project for the class Redesign the Future. In this class we have covered climate change, Bill Gates' 5 Grand Challenges to tackling climate change, circular economy, systems thinking, and some of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this unit we went to The Plant Chicago where we learned about aquaponics, The Hive which talked about bees and their struggle against climate change, Friends of the Chicago River that taught us about our river and its history, Rheaply which showed us their company and an insider view of circular economy, and the Lincoln Park Zoo which told us about select ecosystems and habitats for their animals of all kinds. This unit went very in depth on the concept of systems thinking. We talked about certain actions that were made to solve problems such as the malaria in Borneo but the unintended consequences that followed and how to solve them. This AP is about a design that follows one of the 5 grand challenges and also how can you solv...
