Computer Architecture Diagram

Bits/Bytes/Compiler & Interpreter

A compiler is a program converts the code into binary, and an interpreter is another program that translates from one code to another. A bit is an aspect to binary code, they are the 1's and 0's. A byte is composed of eight bits. If I want to type the letter "A", it very quickly converts the letter into binary.

1 = On

0 = Off

Computer Architecture: My Perspective

I have no idea what computer architecture is. However, I imagine it to be creating different parts and putting them together to make a product. In computer science class, I think we learn how to utilize computer architecture. 

How does the computer understand what I type?

It understands what I type because in its software it is programmed to recognize i. 

Systems Thinking

1. What is a system?
            - A system is a set of connected things forming a complex whole.

2. How does a system work?
            - A system works by having modules (which can have sub-modules), which do specific things to help make the system work smoothly.

3. How does a system relate in computer science?
           - It relates because computer science requires a lot of systems, such as a coding system.

Name Card- Mission Reflection

What was the most enjoyable part of the mission?
I think the most fun part about this mission was the prototype stage, since I enjoy drawing.

What was the least enjoyable part of the mission?
My least favorite was the define stage, since I had a little trouble working out what problems I had to address.

How could this mission change next time to make it more enjoyable?
The mission was already really fun so I do not feel that it needs to be changed.

Design Thinking Skills

Empathize: 

This is the first stage to the design thinking process. You ask what somebody wants as a product, such as a new phone. 

Define:

During this stage, you ask yourself what problems there are. For example, how will you give a phone more storage while still keeping it at the same size. 

Ideate:

The ideate stage is when you start creating the product. You try to address and fix the problems with different solutions, and take customer feedback. 

Prototype:

This is the stage where you start creating the product. You also take more customer feedback. 

Test: 

This is the last stage to the process. You show your product to other people and they test how well it works and if there are any bugs.
