During the beginning of the year we did some challenge problems and these included a few ACSL open response questions. This one was to determine the permissions a user had in a linux based command line. The code itself was a ton of if-statements, and while not all pretty to look at, it runs, and that, plus the friends we made along the way, are what really matters.

Currently for my independent CS project I am working on a geotagging app. How it would work is one person would be able to drop a message at a location and when other users arrive at that location they would be able to see said message. Currently I'm working on the backend, however the frontend code is relatively simple so here it is. It's written in dart as I'm using flutter and firebase for the backend. So far the projects looking great and I expect the launch will happen in the spring.

Many people have trouble learning physics due to the abstract concepts and mathematical rigor involved. There barriers often get in the way of people understanding many of the fundemental aspects of our world, or or even just memorizing the equations and not understanding where they come from. Eureka, our app developed by me, Hasini, and Charolette, is designed to help students learn physics by providing them with a platform to visualize the concepts they are learning. The app allows students to use simulations to understand conceptual ideas, making it a great tool for learning. Our app was designed specifically so it can be picked up by anybody regardless of math background. The MVP is one lesson on kinematics that ties together many of the fundemental physics principals, and by using handwritten explanations, and interactive elements, we created an engaging learning experience.
