After a long absence…

Much has happened over the past year…due to Covid I completed my 10th grade end to end online and never got to meet my classmates or visit the school. The ICSE board exam was scheduled for Feb2021, which got postponed to May so I dropped off in March to study in dedicated mode…then second wave covid in India resulted in cancellation of all 10th and 12th grade board exams and promotion to 11th based on older exam result.

Now in 11th and 12th I am changing over to another part of the same school to IB curriculum and need to do a lot of summer pre-requisite reading and also gear up my SAT prep for the winter. That took some time to plan out and kick off, but now I am also back to Pi/Arduino world to carry on my learnings.

A while ago I took a “design thinking” class online after a friend suggested it. It ran for 3 days and included some theory and some exercises to help clarify the theory. I found it quite useful as a way to gather thoughts, organise ideas and seek feedback to improve on things. Sharing a few screen shots here.

I have obtained a Arduino Mega board and intend to bring it up in the next activity.
