Summer Learning Journey | Activity:3 | Week:3 | Hidden Figures | (6 Points)

Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, is considered to be the ‘first computer programmer’, even though
computers had not yet been invented. She was called a computer programmer because she
worked out a series of algorithms (instructions) that a machine could use to compute (calculate)
difficult maths questions.

Katherine Johnson was another brilliant mathematician who worked with NASA - the North
American Space Association. NASA was responsible for sending rockets and people into
space. It was Katherine’s job to check all of the calculations that the engineers and astronauts
used when designing the spacecraft and flying them into space. In 2016, a movie was made
about Katherine Johnson and the other women who worked at NASA during this time. It is
called ‘Hidden Figures.’ In the movie, the women had to learn how to do basic coding when
NASA started using computers.

Have you ever tried coding? I have never tried coding but I will check it out and have a try!

_______________________________

What To Do:For this activity we would like you to give coding a try. Click on the link for the
website: code.org. If you try an activity and it is too easy, try a harder level!

On your blog, post a screenshot of your completed shape. Underneath the shape tell us what
you thought of the coding app. Is it good? Why/why not?

My Work⬇️

I worked very hard on this science activity it was so hard but I never gave up. When I was doing
that challenge I felt very switched on my brain I made It so anyways here is my award!
