Project #5 Master Your Finances Reflection Journal


            In this project we were assigned a project which would be based on a certain category from Everfi. My group was given the category of Higher Education and the purpose of the website was to explain this category in sections in which the user would understand when visiting the website. In the beginning my group needed to research the category using Everfi so we split into two groups one which would do the research and the other two who would work on the website in order to make sure it was completed by the due date.
            I used atom to work on the website. I also decided to create a simple web page for the project so the user can easily view the information. After working on the website with my partner we finished it up and just needed to input all the information so after coming back to class we received the information and inputted it into the website therefore completing the entire thing. The main points of the website that was discussed was unsubsidized loans, subsidized loans, the FAFSA application, and the benefits of pursuing higher education. Overall I liked the outcome of the website as it came out well. Even though I finished the assignment on time and did not have time to add an extra feature I was working on which would focus on how to get started on higher education.

CS Fair Reflection Journal

Taken from the CS Fair website             Today we the Web Design academy had the opportunity to go to the CS Fair held within the Armory Track. At first before the entire trip even started I was wondering what we might see at this event and I really wasn't prepared for what was actually there. Once we got to the location I was astonished to see how many people actually went and even how many companies, colleges, etc were there at the fair. The place was massive and there was so many things to do, people to talk to and I was dumbfounded in where to start. The first thing I did during the fair was try the different activities they had to offer including playing with lights, driving a robot which was created to complete in a competition and was built in around 30 days which was extremely impressive. After trying the activities I then moved on to the actual fair itself and had the opportunities to talk to companies such as Facebook, Accenture, and eve...
