  • My Last Day Of YCDI Summer Camp

    It has been a very productive week of YCDI creator camp. The presenters of the camp always strive so that everyone understand the concepts of the work and it has been fun. Although I was a little lost on the HTML and the CSS I was able to get caught back up to speed thanks to my peers. The day and week have been fun and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • My Amazing Experience as a YCDI creator!

    Before this YCDI camp I knew nothing about Scratch or creating a website, I didn't even know my personality traits, I can say I knew a little about blogging because I write in a journal but most things were still new to me. From this camp I want to learn how to create a Scratch game, how to create a website, how to become a better blogger and what exactly is Youth Empowerment. I actually earned what I wanted to know/learn. I learnt how to create a website; some of the different tags and attributes to use, how to create a scratch game, what is Youth Empowerment. After camp I want to continue to blog, create scratch games and 'create websites'. Practically everything! I want to extend a big thank you to NCB Foundation & Grace and Staff Community Development Foundation for sponsoring the YCDI camp. Without your sponsorship it wouldn't be possible for us to have such an exciting week. We are truly grateful for your help 🥰 Thank you again! I would also want to say thank you to the YCDI ambassadors Tyreek Welsh, Cherika Wilson, Christopher Derrell, Sabrina Atkinson and Lianne McNaughton for helping us this week. This week was really fun! I wish it didn't have to end so soon. 😥😥 Day one- On day one we learnt what scratch was and how to create a sprite. Day two- On day two we started creating our first game Instructions: Use 'arrow keys' to move. When in the bedroom press 'space key' to start dancing with partner. Press 'a' key to end game . Day three- On day three we got our first scratch fun work. Instructions: Avoid Ball! Click green flag to begin game. Press space key to switch backgrounds. Day four- On day four we created another game. Instructions: Press green flag to start. After told what to do press 'space key' to enter the tunnel market. Use 'arrow keys' to collect items. Day five- On day five we finished our first Website.

  • My Experience as a member of YCDI. (Re-Post)

    What I have known before this summer camp is, I have never taken part in a fun, exciting and educational camp like this one before, also you can change what a site says by highlighting and right clicking a text and clicking inspect, add to HTML, look for the text to delete it or add something to it. Day 1: What I have learned from this program is how to make animations and games using blocks from the website Scratch., Day 2: I learned how to create blogs/posts, and that my personality type is an advocate. Day 3: I was introduced to Web Development. I learned how to create special codes/commands using CodePen and the purpose of CodePen. I learned about tags, the difference between a website and a web-page and how to change the colours of CodePen backgrounds. Day 4; We started off and ended the session with a moment of prayer.I learned about CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), hyperlinks and how to add images into CodePen projects. Day 5: We started off the session with a moment of prayer, we fully comprehended how to create and publish a website and we made our "last day of camp" posts. Right now, the only thing I want to know, is when this camp will return, I've loved this camp so much, it's exceeded all my expectations and even taught me how to create cool stuff so one day I can become famous! . This is all I have to say, goodbye and let's stay in-touch. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

  • My Experience at Camp

    What I knew before starting camp. = I knew that I was going to learn about different programming apps like (e.g Scratch Games, Blogs) which would widen my knowledge of information Techniques. = I knew I would meet new people who would help me on my learning path. What I want to know. = I want to know more that just the Microsoft features, I want to know how to work more creatively with artistic mind, as these this new knowledge could be a major impact on my future profession. ^ I want to know how to program with codes. ^ I want to know how to create cool games and fun apps. ^ I want to know how to improve my writing skills. What I learned from the camp. Computer (YCDI) Camp was REALLY FUN!. I am super grateful that I got this wonderful opportunity, to expand my learning in Information Technique, thanks to The Grace and Staff Foundation who made this possible. Day 1 ( Mon July 27) = Today I have some pretty interesting class as I started off my class with Scratch Programming. In this lesson I was introduce to a new world called Scratch where you could create your own games with sprites - a character/image avatar in a game. I made my own sprite use code bars to make it move and talk. Scratch Game: Instructions - Use the arrow keys to activate the character. ( *the characters will guide you) = In my second class, Youth Empowering Workshop, I learnt about my different character traits and the roles and strategy of my personality. First I took a personality test, which resulted in me being an Advocate, I was surprised by the results as I discover new traits I never knew I had. I was really intrigued by this lesson. = In my last class I learned how to make my very first blog post - a virtual journal/diary where you can write about your feelings on something or your perspective on a specific topic with a peer. In my first blog I wrote about myself, where I went into detail about my different interest and favorite things. ^^ My First Day as a YCDI Creator was REALLY Fun. I enjoyed it. Day 2 ( Tue July 28) = Today I started off with my Youth Empowering session, where we dived deep into our personalities by examine each trait of an individual's personality, later everyone was given a chance to come up with a local or world wide problem, mine was racism as I have observed the rising act of murders and death by only black people, which is very popular in the United States of America. We then teamed up to make ideas on how to stop these problems, this activity was used to link our characteristics to our personalities in term of how we would use of skills and different ideas to come as one team to solve the problems. Class GREAT! = In the second session, I went back to Scratch Programming, today we continued from last class, I learned how to add different backgrounds and costumes to my Sprite, also I made my Sprite talk and have a conversation with another Sprite. It was manageable, but fun as I learned some new features. = Lastly, Web and Web Development. These classes were a bit confusing, but I was still able to learn as much as I can about different tags and attributes like { HTML -HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE}. Also I was able learn about CSS which is completely different that HTML as it stands for Cascading Style Sheet, this would help in styling/"clothing" my website. Sadly, right as class was getting interesting my Wi-fi went away and logged me off, luckily Mr. Derrell was kind enough to stay back and help me with my assignments. ^^ My Second Day as a YCDI Creator was mixed emotions in spite of that I was able to learn new and helpful aspects of programming. Day 3 ( Wed July 29 ) = Today was an awesome as we continue our Youth Empowering Workshop lesson from yesterday's class. In this session we continued from move up from our personalities to world problems, in this activity we gave different suggestions of world problems and then we worked together using our different personalities to come up with idea to fix these problems. I love class today, I felt upbeat and fulfilled, thanks to Ms.Wilson for such and realistic yet interesting lesson. = Scratch Programming was once again manageable, in this class I learned how to add a score board and timer which would help in the game activity I got to remix. Finally I made my own game, YES, I feel like those game programmers. Thanks once again to Tyreek Welsh who stayed and help me through my Scratch Journey. = Today you learned more about HTML & CSS, how to create links to other pages, and how to design and change the color and font of your website. I also learned more new and different tags that you use for different purposes like ( <a href="..." ), which is used for links and addresses. ^^ MY Third Day as a YCDI Creator was quite interesting. I loved my Web class as I learned a lot. Day 4 ( Thur July 30) = Today was a bit challenging as I only focus on Web and Web Development for most of our classes. I usual I learned some new tags and how to create a link form a different website or from the same browser. IT was pretty COOL!. I had some minor bumps in the road but I got help, by Mr. Derrell, who helped me a lot in this learning aspect. ^^ My Fourth DAy as a YCDI Creator was interesting! Day 5 ( Friday July 31) = Today was a AWESOME. I finally finish my first website. Later, I learned how to publish my website. My Website- It now time for blogging, in this session, I FINISHED MY BLOG SUMMARY = I learned new things as I discovered a whole new world behind the apps and programs I usually used each day. Thanks to Sabrina, Tyreek Ms.Wilson and Mr. Derrell. Also I am very grateful for this opportunity from our sponsors NCB Foundation & Grace and Staff Community Development Foundation Something you want to pursue in the future In primary I was always indecisive as to what I wanted to be when I grow up, but I was sure that I was going to pursue a profession is art, at least I was sure about something. As I got older I continued to think about my future career but it would always change, but I am considering to become a graphic design in future. I am not sure how long I will go with this time, but i will try my very best to at least pursue my "dream job" in the field of Art.

  • Lazy Lan

    Once upon a time there was a boy named Lan, he lived with his mother and sister Lainy. Lan's room was always a mess, the dishes where always dirty, his laundry was never done and the bathroom was never cleaned. This was because Lan was always on his phone and Lainy was tired of doing all the chores. One day Lainy and Lan's mom came home from work to see a dirty house. Once again she was pissed because everytime she came home the house was dirty. She then went to Lan's room very angry. As she was heading towards his room she heard a soft sound "Am a savage, classy, boujee, ratchet". She immediately shouted to him telling him to get off Tik Tok. When she entered the room she grabbed the phone then threw it outside and shouted " Lan! I'm tired of your foolishness. It's about time you clean your room, clean the bathroom and do you laundry." As she shouted at him, Lainy stood there laughing at him until he stormed out of the room to do his chores. After about ten minutes Lainy and her mom went to see what he was doing. When they entered the bathroom they were shocked, it was sparkly clean with all the towels folded up. Lan said " You liking what you see?" And they replied saying of course, and just like that they got Lan to do his chores .

  • 20 Minutes is an Eternity

    Michael, the main character of this story, was a happy, generous and grateful man,, but he was lonely. He made a challenge for himself called "20 Minutes." It means that he was supposed to find someone to be his future girlfriend or future wife. Michael went on with this challenge, but what he didn't know was that someone planned something special for him...😈. As Michael stepped foot into the city at 2:00, he found a cafe. To Michael's surprise it was just what he needed. He walked inside the cafe and looked around the room for his soon-to-be girlfriend. He found a beautiful woman sitting on a stool at the table. She cheated on her husbands multiple times, Michael went up to her, blah blah blah, and then he fell unconscious. When he woke up, it was 1:45 in the afternoon, he thought to himself, "What happened?" He shrugged it off and went back outside, in the same attire, at the same time, and the same way. He ended up back at the cafe, and met a different woman in the same seat as the previous one. She was a woman with multiple boyfriends, Michael did the same process as before. Talked, fell unconscious and woke up in his house. Michael did this a few more times until he realised everytime he chose an indecent woman, those 20 minutes never happened. So this time, he did it right. Went to a beautiful woman at a cafe, chatted, got to know her more, and they are now a couple. After that, Michael forgot about all those things that happened to him... Like those 20 minutes never happened.
