Week 2- Jolissa Ramirez

Week 2


1. The projects I have been working on are getting certain things on the Arduino board to work and trying to troubleshoot the problems. I have also been working on changing the code of certain things in the Arduino board like the color, the names that appear, and the sounds the buzzer makes. Some other projects have been getting different components of the Tiny watch to work together because individually I have gotten all aspects to work.


2. The most exciting thing looking forward to week three is obviously the final project but also trying to get the final project to work in real-time and not just being an idea. I am excited for week three to see if I can finish the Arduino board and make the robot cause I have yet to be able to start on that part. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm excited about presenting the final project but that's mainly just nerves talking cause I will be nervous and maybe a bit scared.

3. We did tour the Clean Room this week which was super cool. It was cool seeing the different aspects and seeing the different parts of the room and how they contribute to different things. I would say the one downfall to the room was that it was kind of hot in there and I could barely breathe, but it was still a super cool experience to be a part of.

Week 2 - Aroosh Sood

  Week 2 Blog 1. What are you first thoughts on the projects you have been working on? I really liked working on the Sparkfun electronics kit. My favorite projects this week were definitely Simon Says and the "Self Control Car" because of how fun they are to play with. I also liked how we continued to work with the tiny watch and added new things like the Bluetooth and the GPS. I loved how I was able to my message notifications on the Tiny Screen.   2. What are you most looking forward to in Week 3? In week 3, I'm most looking forward to designing our final project. I think it will be really cool to combine things we have worked on/learned in the previous 2 weeks. An idea I have for the final project is combining things we have worked on like the BPM, pulse oximeter, and maybe a temperature sensor, and if the user has any problems in one of the categories (like BPM is too fast or temperature to high), the watch will send an alert to a family/friend saying the problem and ...

Week 1 - Natasha Mbajonas

Week 1 Blog - Natasha M. This is what I saw in the mail during my last month of school:  Dear Natasha,   Congratulations! You have been chosen to take part in the PATHS-UP Young Scholars Digital Health program! The program will be held Mon - Thu, June 10 - June 27, 2024, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in Facilities Engineering and Planning Building, Room 102 (number 26 on the attached campus map) at  Rice  University.   Even though I was happy to participate in the program, I knew I needed preparation. So I started preparing only a few days after the email. I refreshed some of my coding skills (which are mainly in Python and Swift). Specifically, I freshened up on using Python libraries like Pandas and NumPy. I also quickly made a  few simple basic apps on Swift such as a calculator and a simple workout card game. After I was briefed on my coding skills, I did some more research on the camp and actually found some of the previous scholars who went to this camp. Ther...

Week 3 - Catherine

 Week 3 - Catherine Project My project is finally finished. On Monday, I finished wiring my project and the hardware components. I was able to calibrate our sensor and ensure that the components were functioning properly. Throughout the building of my project, I go to learn a lot about electrochemistry and chemistry in general. On Tuesday, I finished creating our poster and began rehearsing what I was going to say. Designing the poster took a bit as I need to fill out the Introduction, Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections. I really liked working on the poster and practicing the presentation because I enjoy elevator pitches. Paths-UP Program I really enjoyed the program. My favorite parts were :the lectures covering machine learning and software in general; getting to play around with the Arduino; and touring various places at Rice. I feel like I got to learn a lot throughout the program. Most of what I learned was about hardware, something I had been extremely intimidated by. ...
