Activity Guide- Research One Pager (Energy Microgrids)

Image
Data Innovation One-Pager Template <change this to your title> Note: All text in Italics, including this text, is intended to be replaced by your responses, and deleted once you’ve completed your one-pager. Innovation Purpose What is the intended goal or objective of the innovation? Why was it created in the first place? What need or problem led to it being created? Assume that the audience doesn’t know much about the topic. The intended goal of this innovation is to have more low-cost energy sources available to the public. This innovation is being created in the first place because U.S. electric consumers are now paying 43 percent more to construct and maintain local power grids than in 2002. Additionally, the grid is also becoming less reliable, now creating blackouts taking 20 percent longer than in 2002 to fix. Overall, the power grid should be reengineered to meet the need of people in 2017 since demand is increasing, supply is getting scarce, and q...

Activity Guide - Big Data Sleuth Card Directions: With a partner, select one of the tools in the list to the right. Determine what the tool is showing. Find the source of the data it allows you to explore. Complete the table below. Web Sites: 1. Web archive http://www.archive.org 2. Measure of America http://www.measureofamerica.org/maps/ 3. Wind Sensor network http://earth.nullschool.net/ 4. Twitter sentiment https://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/healey/tweet_viz/tweet_app/ 5. Alternative Fuel Locator http://www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations/ Website Name Tweet Sentiment Visualization What is this website potentially useful for?  What kinds of problems could the provided information be used to solve? The website gives an idea of how people are reacting to certain events or words. For example, I typed in Trump and was split in the middle 50/50 if they were happy or upset. It is very revealing to how people feel in the moment. ...

Unit 3 Lesson 7- APIs and Function Parameters (Smiley Face Code)

Smiley Face Code: moveTo(160, 220); penColor("blue"); dot(1000000); penColor("yellow"); dot(150); moveForward(50); turnRight(90); moveForward(45); penColor("black"); dot(20); penUp(); turnTo(270); moveForward(90); penDown(); dot(20); penUp(); moveForward(50); turnLeft(90); moveForward(50); penDown(); penWidth(20); arcLeft(180, 100); Reflection: Copy and paste your code to create your smiley face.  What challenges did you face in this lab? How did you solve these challenges?  Did you collaborate with others in class? Did you get or provide help to other "programmers" in class?  With what?  What documentation did you use for this lab today?  Provide examples of other libraries you are familiar with in other programming languages. The challenges I faced in this lab was repetition because it was hard to track down the mistakes I made in the code if I have each line of code relying on the other ...
