Week 1 Post:
For the first few classes of Help Desk we started learning about drones and their role and capabilities in the 21st century. We first started talking about drone safety and the rules to follow when flying a drone. A lot of drones have the capabilities to fly miles high in the sky, but unless you have a license and permission, you are not allowed to go above 400 feet. After that we flew some small drones ourselves and then flew a bigger one outside and you were able to get a view like this! ———->

Weeks 2-4 Post:As you can see, in the image off to the left, we did a lot more with drones in these past few weeks, and I even got to fly one myself. We got a lot of cool shots, and use some cool technology within the drone which let us control it with our hands, not using a controller. It was a bit finicky to try to use because sometimes it wouldn’t follow our hand movements, but other than that it was a lot of fun. Now we’ve just started learning about chat bots and AI technology.

CS-ED Week:CS-ed week was a week of cool presentations by many professionals in different fields that had something cool and interesting to share with us. Out of the couple presentations I listened to, the woman from Desktop Metal was the coolest. They make 3D printers, that instead of printing things with plastic, they print with a type of metal to make sturdier and more useful objects, then your normal 3D printers. Although I didn't have any questions, it was still relatively intriguing and was quite interesting.
