Reading Books During The Pandemic

With COVID-19 trapping us at home, we have turned to the comfort of home entertainment. Some kids turn to TV. Some kids, however, like to turn their minds to books. And surprisingly, some people see themselves an how they are handling the current situation in those books. I interviewed a few people from my school to see what books they're reading, and how the characters in the books might react to the situation we are in.

Student #1:

For my first interviewee, I brought in a student the same age as me. I asked what book she was reading and she told me that she was reading a healthy mix between fiction and nonfiction. The first book she told was about sleeping habits. Interesting. Sleeping, especially during this time, is extremely important. We need our energy and health to make it through this.

Social Distancing: Online School Because of the Coronavirus and social distancing, it is no surprise that the government has switched to online schools. This change is a new educational experience for almost everybody, so I wanted to look at how different schools are educating their students or providing on-line instruction. Since my school is already associated with Khan Academy, we transitioned to online school more easily. Also, since this is a new experience for us all, I wanted to explore how different schools are adapting to the new change. Private: Nearly the same as a public school, a private school will most likely follow the same schedule, if not change it a bit. Since you go to a private school, you might have a different, mixed up schedule. For me, I have a schedule that has some classes, then some breaks, and then free time to work on my homework. This formula works virtually the same way. For most of you, especially those who are using Zoom, during thei

Corona Time: Things you can do during social distancing Alright, so as most of you know, there is a pandemic going around the earth by the name of the “coronavirus”. Due to the virus and attempts to contain the spread, people have been practicing this strange new thing called “Social Distancing.” Now, this doesn’t sound like your average try to stay away from your weird friend. So what is it? Well, social distancing is where you stay at home, going for the occasional walk, to contain the spread of the virus. Social distancing may sound like a free ticket for “screen time”, but overall, this should not be the case. There are many challenges people are facing. These include not being to see your friends in person, not being able to travel, being forced to stay inside your house for longer periods of time. However, we can overcome these challenges. You can have a virtual playdate with your friend(see below). You can watch movies with your family, play board games, or read

Making A Robot: My First Time Experience

Okay, so being stuck at home, means for most people, you need something fun, productive, and creative, and somewhat challenging to do. My mother bought me something that is all those things in one. Say hello to the Meccano XL 2.0 Personal robot: It really is an amazing thing. While it can be frustrating, It is totally worth it. I just wanted to kind of go over what building something like a robot may be at this, some tips, and recommendation, not specifically this on particular robots, but for building things in general. Let's get started. First Let me talk about my experience building this robot before we get to tips and recommendations. So just a heads-up, when you first start building something, not everything is going to go as planned. Stuff is going to happen along the way that will upset and annoy you. Don't let that get to you. Throughout this, I probably had to screw and re-screw over 100 times. It's not going to be easy, but make sure you keep
