STEM thinking

Why do you think America should regain its position as a world leader in science, technology, engineering and math?

I honestly don't know how it would be if we were the world leaders in science, technology, engineering and math. It could cause other countries to get competitive and try to destroy us. It could easily lead to a lot of problems. Those would be some of the negative effects of us being the world leaders. Everything wouldn't all be negative though, there would be some positive effects of us being world leaders. We would be a whole lot more advanced then every other country. That would make other countries want to buy a bunch of our technologies. I really don't know if America should regain its position as world leaders in science, technology, engineering and math.

STEM thinking

What type of STEM-related inventions and/or discoveries would you like to make or support in your lifetime?

There is a lot of stuff that i would want to support in my lifetime. One thing I think really should be supported is the cure for aids. Its killing a bunch of people all over the world. That disease really needs to leave this planet. I know there's probably already a cure for it, but it just costs a lot of money. There needs to be a proper cure for it that shouldn't cost any amount of money. That's it for now.

How has Globaloria engaged me in other STEM-related classes?

It has put me into a web page designing class. I will be in it next school year.

My future Plan

What I plan on doing in my future is going into something for game designing. I really want to be able to create my own game. I don't really want to join a company and have to do what someone else says. I want to be the person who gives all the ideas and have people and friends to help me make those ideas come to life. I already have tons of ideas for a game that I really want to make. If I could ever get a chance to make the game that i want to, then I would probably get rich off of it, then I would have more money to make even better games. That's what I would like to do in my future.

Three Most Important Discoveries

The three technology discoveries that have impacted me the most are computers, television, and xbox 360s. Computers have a great impact on my life. I use them almost everyday. They are very useful and can help you find almost everything you want or need to know. Not only can you use the Internet, but also play many games on them. Computers are very helpful in many ways.

Television has been around for a long time and is still used greatly today. TV is not only just nonsense entertainment, its also educational. I have learned a lot from just watching certain things on it. I watch it everyday because its a great pass time.

Xbox 360s are my favorite piece of technology. I know they are just used for entertainment by playing games and are not very educational, but they are great fun for me. They have definitely impacted me the most in my life. I play mine almost everyday and have a blast on it. It is definitely my most favorite type of technology.

Most Difficult Challenge

We have come across a whole bunch of problems with our game. The hardest part of it would definitely be all the coding. We cant get our guy to shoot correctly and when he does shoot, its very wrong. He cant jump and shoot at the same time, When he shoots, his arm rotates and its insanely terrible. There are many problems in the coding, but were trying to fix them. The coding is the hardest part of our game. That's all, bye.

Collision Detection

We now have collision detection in our game. The player can actually exit through exit doors, die by enemies, and so forth. We pretty much have all the coding done, we just need to fix the glitches in it. So after we finish the artwork and get the coding perfected, we will have our game finished. Its going to be awesome. That's all for now. Bye.
