Name of Assignment: Birthday cake pseudocode assignment
Subject: Engineering
Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Kris Murali
Description of Work/Assignment: The purpose of this assignment was to create a birthday cake that displays your binary age.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
I think that his project addresses my global awareness skills in a unique way. Binary is a language that I had never used before, and this project showed me the necessity of the binary dialect.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of translating the actual age into binary age, because it took a lot of work to code it to do that.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I improved my global awareness skills because I learned a lot about how the binary language works and how it is used.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part of completing this task was coordinating the candles and binary code. It was difficult getting the colors in the right order.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?
If I could improve this task, I would try to cut down the code a bit, because it was very long and could probably be modified to be smaller.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This project was similar to much of the program that we had done in the class previously, because it was the last computer science assignment we had, and was made to test our knowledge.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I could apply this skill to any future task that requires coding or binary programming.
