Week 3 - Chelyee Ho

 Hi. This camp did not change my life. I will be raising my kids the same way as I planned to. I did not join this camp for the digital aspect of it. I thought it was about health. However, I think doing this computer science-focused camp has expanded my knowledge of the field and has helped me in the career-choosing process. I have decided to never do anything related to computer science. I think the mentors did a great job in running the camp and assisting us and the activities were very valuable. My favorite part of the camp was when went outside and did tours. Also, please invest in chairs with backrests. My back and butt hurt the whole time, and I could feel the angle of my scoliosis increasing.

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. ...
