Requirements
St. Charles Creative Challenge
Build, design or create a solution to a real world problem that can be solved with technology. Throughout the process of creating a solution, you will be able to learn and explore different ideas and skills through workshops, sessions and mentorship by organizers, mentors and sponsors. This challenge is not restricted to any programming language, platform or resources. You may use any materials you have or materials we can provide (Ex. Raspberry pi, Arduino or Circuit Playgrounds).
Code
- Design an app to address problem in the school or broader school community using assistive technology and circuit playgrounds.
- Beginners: Use design mode to mock up a user interface and then add basic functionality in Code Mode (switching screens or changing text based on button clicks)
- Advanced: App must incorporate data tools including read / write / update / delete records blocks to enable some functionality directly tied to the purpose of the app.
NICERC
Antipode
An antipode is the opposite side of the globe (sorry, flat earthers!). When given a street address, find the antipode for that location and provide a link to the location on Google Maps. Bonus points: provide a weather report and time of day for that location.
Trendy Pictures
Create a program that tracks Twitter Trending topics and provides the first image from a Google Image search for each topic. Bonus if the results are embedded in a static HTML page that can be refreshed every 5 minutes.
METAR Decoding
Each airport reports weather conditions for pilots. These reports are known as Meteorological Aerodrome Reports, or just METARs (“mee-tarz”). The information is encoded in a particular format. The format was created in an age before modern computers could decode and display data. Make a program that can make sense of the information and provide the report in “plain English” for users that don’t know how to decode a METAR.
