Me and GSSE!

 Introducing Me


Hey! My name is Carolin! I'm a rising senior at White Station High School in Memphis, but for this June I'm a member of Govenor School for Science and Engineering or GSSE. In this blog I'll be of course introducing myself to you but also you what I'll be doing at GSSE. As a 17-year-old rising senior this year will be my last year of high school where I enjoy the journey (or challenge) we call high school. I will be having fun and hanging out with my friends at football games like many times before...


But I will also be exploring my love of science. Specifically, chemistry. During my time at GSSE I will be learning about complex topics of the subject such nano-chemistry and raman spectroscopy while also engaging in classes that cover how STEM works in the natural world. Prepared and excited for the next month you my dear reader will join me in my journey uncovering new information each day at GSSE.

June 4: Engineering Design Process

Image
  Abstract: In our class Stem Skills, we explored the 8-step engineering design process of making out own functioning "car" using KNEX.  For this lesson our class split into groups in order to make a fully functioning transportational device that can carry items over a distance. My group consisted of 4 members. Anandi Durgam, Sanvi Guruprasad, Aditi Aurnprakash, and me.  Step 1: Define the Problem In this part of the process, we had to first evaluate the problem and what goals we needed our prototype to achieve. For this we outlined our goals for our model as first being able to move, second being able to carry objects, and third able to carry objects while moving  Step 2: Research the Problem For this second step we had to research what others had done and what constraints, limitations, or criteria we had to abide by in order to make out model. One such constraint is that the only items we were given to build the prototype was only a single bag of KNEX blocks which did not h

June 17: Data Visualization and AI Overview

 How to be a Saleswoman and Titanic Predictor 101 Abstract: In this blog I will be covering how to make an excel visualization dashboard as well as how to predict who died and survived the Titanic sinkage using AI Yesterday in STEM Skills we covered the topic of data visualization and were given the option of doing different forms of visualization. Of these choices I decided to do a excel data visualization. In this datasheet we first had learned how to link icons to certain pages within the sheet which was then followed by how to format the sheet's background which in the picture below is showcased by the blue line with the icons leading to different pages and the shadow-y backdrop of each category. Then to put the data into visualization form, still following the YouTube tutorial, I converted the data into map, line graph, doughnut charts, and shape charts as well to represent different areas of the data. At the end this is what it looked like... So now that I have learned how to
