Hey girls! It’s Monday again!
Get some enthusiasm going and let’s start celebrating one of the best colors ever – yellow!
Ready for some fun facts about the color yellow? Hopefully you’re all ready for these!
1 – Yellow is a great color to be surrounded by when you’re trying to study. It is shown to
have a stimulating effect on the mind and can improve the results of studying.

2 – Yellow is the first color that the eye registers so whenever there is a yellow object
around you, it will be the first thing you see.

3 – Yellow actually has multiple effects on our physical bodies as well as our minds.
It stimulates mental processes and bolsters them, stimulates the nervous system and
increases general health, activates our memories, and encourages communication.

Yellow is a truly great color!
And speaking of truly great things, let’s talk about computer science and how it uses
the color yellow. So you all may know that the primary colors of painting are red, yellow,
and blue. Do you know why the primary colors of coding and computer science are red,
green, and blue instead? It’s because the human eye has three kinds of color cones
within it that detect color – red, green, and blue-detecting cones. We have built in
color-mechanisms in those cones that let us detect other colors as well, but our
vision predominantly sees red, green, and blue. As such, the most effective color-creation
system uses red, green, and blue and so computers use red, green, and blue to create
all colors instead of red, yellow, and blue like painting.

Neat, huh?

In case you were wondering! Here is the YWiC blog for Friday:
Here’s some facts about flannel and computer science.
Did you know? Flannel has been around for over four centuries! It was started in the early 1600s by Scottish farmers to protect themselves from harsh winter weather. It grew in popularity and spread around Europe during the Industrial Revolution, and then later became popular in North America as well due to their use by lumberjacks.
Extra fact! Many people believe flannel started in 17th century Wales, but that time period was actually just the first point in time that the word “flannel” was used. Prior to that, it was just another material worn during the time period for functionality.
Did you know? There is an online computer program called Stitch Fix that uses AI-style programming and profiling to pick clothes for you if you consider yourself fashionably-challenged. According to the clothes you select on your profile and say you’ll be willing to wear, the program will select appropriate, fashionable clothes in your style of choice. The outfits will then be shipped to you in a box known as a “Fix”. You can even select a preference on the website for it to send you clothes that are maybe a little bit outside your comfort zone so you can try new things. Solves all my problems, right?

Portfolio: Day 6
Provide an overview of your project/artifact. (For example, I designed a video game using Scratch programming where the player, or snowman, has to catch 5 snowflakes and avoid the flying flames.)
What did you plan to learn from your project? Did you meet this target?
What computer science concepts did you use in your project? (Variables, loops, conditional statements, functions, lists/arrays, methods, etc.)
What computational thinking principles did you use in your project? (Abstraction, algorithms, correctness, efficiency, iteration or loop statements, variables, etc.)
How does your project relate to the “real” world? What did you learn or use that will help you outside the classroom?
In your project, what did you particularly want others to notice?
What would you improve if you could do this over again?
Does this project reflect the effort you put into it? Why or why not?
