🚢 :forsyth-hacks-bw: hackathon ship! 🚢 :forsyth-hacks-bw:forsyth hacks happened 3/25/23! it was a full day hackathon with about 50 attendees and was an overall success! it was a great learning experience and although the whole ordeal took about 4 months to plan, i wouldn't have it any other way. in the end, it was amazing to have reached so many individuals from beginners to experienced coders in an event that allowed them to collaborate and simply have fun.
and of course, couldn't have done it without @ChristianDutton-U04E0LL16MA who single handedly coded our website and was always there to listen to my late night rants about budgeting and venue trauma.
(can't wait for whatever we come up w next year!)
i think we're doing this thing:half-salute:
the laptop got new stickers :stickers::half-salute:
had an unforgettable day leading forsyth hacks with @ChristianDutton-U04E0LL16MA today! here's a mini-ship, but sm more coming soon :forsyth-hacks-bw:

day 10/10 of #hardware-party: I FINALLY SET UP THE PI:raspberry-pi-logo:the ten days may be over, but my adventures with creating and hardware are not. i'll be continuing my project in scrapbook and #sahiti-refuses-to-get-off-the-train for anyone who wants to follow along, but this has been an amazing opportunity. would've never gotten to do this without hack club. i love you guys :aww:thank you @Arpan@ChristianDutton-U04E0LL16MA and everyone else who helped me through my nightmare setting up process!
day 4/10 of #hardware-party: i need help w setting up my pi :peefest:
day 3/10 of #hardware-party: on today's episode of sahiti learning new things, we discovered that pi has not been set up correctly :raspberry-pi-logo:tried redoing it again and i'm stuck bc it's not letting me access it? keeps saying password denied. i will try flashing it again (maybe w micro sd) :tw_melting_face:
day 2/10 of #hardware-party: finished setting up my pi :raspberry-pi-logo:(think i did it via LAN, but it took forever :peefest:). i might disassemble how i put it together yesterday and get it on a breadboard!
day 1/10 of #hardware-party: started connecting the bits of my raspberry pi :raspberry-pi-logo:. here you can see my raspberry pi 4 computer model b 1 gb ram, pir sensor, and camera module (+ jumper wires).
drawing tablet!
hacktoberfest stickers (but nowhere to put them) :hacktoberfest-2022:
finally stickered my laptop :half-salute:
putting together my sprig today was the highlight of the holiday season fr :sprig-dino: gods, i love you guys. i can't tell you how utterly pivotal it was to physically hold my game in my hands on this tiny, adorable, green unit of hardware. i want to say thank you to the whole #sprig team for putting in the time and making this happen!
day 4/10 of #10-days-in-public: for those in the back, i am not a front-end developer! aka i can count the number of times i have worked w css on my hands and you can give me java over html ANY DAY. but i used today to go over the js clock workshop @fayd and it went (almost) smoothly! i can't wait to try more (and thank u sm for those of u who helped me today).
and question!! does anyone have any first-project suggestions for my portfolio? smtg simple but well thought so i can just put it out there.
day 3 of #10-days-in-public: messed around w replit a bit more and also checked out blackbox.io! what are your thoughts on it?
day 2 of #10-days-in-public ok confession: i don't really use replit that much, but i've been trying it out and it's rlly cool. messed w little programs to get started!
day 1 of #10-days-in-public: researching/getting inspiration from existing programming portfolios to try and get a design + looking over my WiSTEM mentor's portfolio to get a better idea of what i'm aiming for
