Google Trip

Image
    This semester we went to Google in New York City, New York. It was a very good and interesting work place. We saw the people using scooters to transport from room to room. In addition, there were different places to eat in the google offices. Our tour-guide showed us the very first computer (image below). It was interesting and he also showed us the very old CD's and told us that it still works. After that we went through the staircase all the way to the 14th floor went to the rooftop. To be honest it didn't really felt like a rooftop but like a backyard. Where you can be able to rest and eat while taking your break. Another thing that was really good was the sleeping area. I called it the sleeping area because there was like a little bed or somewhat similar and you can sleep or take a nap. Mrs.Ramirez  really liked the little garden. There was plants on wall. It was really nice.         If I was able to work at google I would feel really blessed because they provide us

College Fair/Career

    There was a National College Fair at Javis Center Convention on April 22, 2018. I went there with my friend to explore and see what colleges we might want to go to. To be honest, I didn't expect to see lot of people at the fair. There was people with their parents and others with their friends. Most of the people were from all the 4 boroughs. I couldn't really go to some of the colleges and ask questions or scan my barcode because there was lot of people in the line. Especially Hunter College there was a lot of people in the line. My friend took a picture of me looking at the tall guy in front of me while waiting in the line. As you can see in the bottom right you can see looking at the boy back. An for the other picture in the left bottom I was adventuring around.

WBL #4

            Today's workshop we learned about resumes. We learned as to what you need to write in your resume and what you should not. Some things you should write in your resume is you skills, experience(volunteer work), your career objective, education, and your achievements. On the other side, you should not include the date in your resume; your height and weight. Also, you could add an image or a picture of yourself. However, there are some companies or interviewers that judges based on your appearance, your background and religion. In addition, we need to be prepared for an interview and be confident. Mr. Vanderputten told us his story when he was being interviewed in school by Mr.Anthony. In his resume he wrote that one of his skill was video. An that he was applying to be a Special Education or District 75 teacher. However, Mr.Anthony realized that he can teach students about video. So, he sent his resume to the principle and principle said that he can teach video and be a s

In this lab we were trying to build an app called the Color Sleuth. This game is for two players and has 4 colored square. Out of the 4 squares only one square has a slightly different color and you have to find it. Whoever has the most points wins. For instance, if Player 2 has about 20 pts and Player 1 has 15 pts, then player 2 wins the game. This app game was created at code.org studio. The program is JavaScript which most programmer uses. Doing this we learn how to make a scoring system in our game and learn how to  make a game work/or create a new game.                                                  

CTE Expo

    On the CTE Expo we had to dress up formally. The CTE expo is to show the freshman of what kind of things we are doing and what they will do in the future. We had to show them around and welcome them by shaking hands. The main purpose of this CTE Expo was to show our teacher our interview skills. When the freshman walk in to our classroom we welcome them and showed our website or our games. There was this one person I tried to talk to but that person just didn't listen to me. I felt sort of mad. However, I still smiled like what Mrs. Ramirez always said. It happened a couple of times. The good thing was that at least I was able to find some students that were willing to listen to me. I also played games with them on computer. To be frank, most of the freshman was shy or did not care about this. Some use their phone or they talk to their friends.     Most of the freshman were interested in our games. They were like "Did you guys create game in this class?" Also, they g

      Researchers have created computer models that could predict how cancer will progress in a specific individuals based on tissue,cellular and sub-cellular protein signaling  responses. The models can predict how brain tumors will grow with much great accuracy than other previous models. The group began a clinical study to see how an individual's cancer will progress after one cycle of therapy and to use that predication to plan the course of treatment. It explains that the combination of mathematical modeling and high performance computing may be the only way to overcome the complexity of cancer. Not only one disease but hundreds, each with numerous sub-types.For example ,  at  Vanderbilt University, Yankeelov's previous institution, his group was able to predict with 87 percent accuracy whether a breast cancer patient would respond positively to treatment after just one cycle of therapy.             I think that this is really good for the doctors and the patients who

     Machine learning computer systems is which you get better with experience are poised to turn into the economy much as steam engines and electricity have in the past. They can out stand people in a number of tasks though they are unlikely to replace people in all jobs. Mitchell, who the founded the world's first Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University describe 21 criteria to evaluate whether a task is amendable to machine learning.  Machine Learning is one element  of what is known as artificial intelligence. Rapid advances in machine intelligence have yielded recent improvements in facial recognition, natural language understanding and computer vision. Its already widely used for credit card fraud detection, financial market analysis and recommendation systems with new applications such as medical diagnosis on the horizon. Machine Learning will affect a particular job or profession can be difficult because machine learning tends to automate or semi-automate i
