Click on the link below to read about a young middle school student who has built two different apps and is now at work on her third. After reading the article, share how her experience might be similar to what we have been practicing during our 5 lab stations. What are some things these stations might inspire you to design in the future?

In our lab station we have been doing engineering. This is similar to the girl in the article because she learned to code at an early age. She designed apps for kids and in our lab station we have designed a dam, a parachute and a bouncy ball. This helps children learn and have fun!

I think Dylan is right because we are all doing similar things to her and we are having a lot of fun too and I believe she is a great app maker.

Yes that is a good because using an app can be great fun like our 5 station.

I think Dylan is right because our class and her are engineering.

She make apps which is designing a computer program. We designed, dams, building, etc. They are both designing so that is similar.

I think Omar is also right because she came up with all these different apps and made sure we didn't come up with our things but we did them and it was great.

You are right, Omar. They are both similar.

What we are doing in science right now is similar to what she is doing because we are making a bunch of different thing and they don't always work. I mean she obviously did not succeed the first time so she is also an inspiration to keep trying different things also her app making skills must be phenomenal to have lots of people download them. So she is a great role model and a great engineer.

Anvitha Vijay started learning to code at the age 7 then she created a app to help kids identify more than a 100 animals then there sounds. We are learning the Architectural Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Ocean/Naval Engineering, Civil Engineering,

You are right Anvitha is a great scientist and a good example for us to look at and do the same. From all the things we are learning in our stations we too can create apps to help others.

I can relate the app page to the dam station because you have to build the dam up until it works, just like how you have to make an app work too. I can also relate this to the building block station because you have to make sure the building is safe for natural disasters, but for an app you need to make sure it works and make sure everything is programed correctly.

Yep like all scienctist they never get it first try.

I agree with you Tristan. 10/18/2016 08:15:58 pm
I think also that an app would not be easy to do and you would have to make sure it works correctly. But as scientist you try and try until you succeed. And Anvitha is a good example of that.

I agree she design the app before it worked it didn't just happen in a second and we needed to build a dam so water won´t come to the other side.Imagine if the whole world saw this terrible app because you didn´t design well

I agree Auston, you will never get things on the first try.

The paper is like when we are making the building the tower to make the earthquake. It is like that because you are not going to get it first try.

I think that's true Tristan you can't get everything on first especially as a scientist.

Anvitha is creating great apps that are useful for kids to use and learn from. Like us in science lab we are creating parachutes that help bring people to safety and we are building towers meant to protect people when an earthquake hits. Working on these engineer stations inspires me to one day create an app that would provide great information for others to use.

Anvitha wants to teach kids by using technology. She thinks that she can help kids and thinks technology is good. In lab we did engineering. We had to solve problems in our stations. She had to solve problems if kids are having trouble understanding her app. I want to be an engineer and make houses for people.

In science we have been engineering. I learned how to make a parachute, dams, and more. It took us more than one try and the first time no one succeeds their first time. But what was awesome is that Avitha never gave up so no one should. Just keep trying at whatever you do.

Our lab stations relate to this because we have been learning about engineering. This girl also learned about engineering and made products with it.

Anvitha used her experience to create games just like we created something in each station like the bouncy ball, dam,parachute and submarine. I was inspired by the architectural lab. It would be cool to design, buildings bridges and highways.

Anvcitha created apps at the age of only 9 and we built dams and other things to. A girl younger than us is doing great things. Now me and everybody else can learn from this and maybe we can design apps like she did or maybe something else. Maybe you can also be a engineer wouldn't it be fun if you got to build skyscrapers, dams, bridges, and other structures.

The lab stations are connected to the app story because we have been learning about engineering. Anvitha learned to engineer at a young age and we learned a little about engineering at a young age too.

The lab stations and the app story have a connection because we both learned at an early age designed things to help the world and have a fun time.

In our stations we have been doing engineering. In our engineering, we have been designing things, and the girl is designing apps. It is really amazing how young she learned how to code. She is also helping kids learn. I bet she will be a electrical engineer when she grows up.
