How does the Laser Cutter work ?

                                                                      Laser machine

A laser cutter is a machine that uses the tiny ray laser to wood, glass, plastic etc. The machine can be use in small business and for personal use. Laser cutter cut things smooth and perfectly You also can save your time . Here are some steps to learn how to use laser cutter.

 

1. Get a laser cutter.
2. Create a picture that you want to cut.
3. Get the material that you are going to cut like cork.
4. You have to make a computer program to show that machine how long to cut .
5. Turn on your machine and get ready to cut.

How to make an Object go toward you on Scratch?

Hello!! We will continue to learn how to make an object go toward you on scratch. I’m pretty sure that you will like *WHAT* but it really easy by using [Next costume] block and [Change size by] block let’s take a at the Video.

 

 

 

       Firstly, you have to seek for the block that we going to use at the LOOKS box. Right after that what you have have to do is drag it out and start to built it.

 

 

When i clicked the green flag, the object will forever change size by 10 that mean it will get bigger 10 times. But if you want to make it smaller -10 easy right?.  Down the bottom is when the key space pressed, the object will get super small because i made it -150.

 

About the next costume block it is just like  FrameRate on the Processing.

FrameRate on processing is how many frame you want it to run per second.

 

 

 

If on processing computer programming i say frameRate(10); the imagines will appear 10 times in 1 second but in Scratch it much much more easy.

 

 

 

This is how it looks like when you say Wait 0.3 then Next costume. Ok that’s all have fun

How to use Broadcast block on “Scratch”?

Scratch is a great teacher programming computer for everyone likes programming. It teaches you  the basic things before you use Arduino or other programming. On scratch you could make a game, an animation or whatever you want. Today i’m going to show you how to use the Broadcast block.

Here is a video. (when the cat touched the black circle, the snow flower will change it color.)

This is all the block option. We will use (When i receive message1) and (Broadcast message1)

Here when i clicked the cat will move from the left to the right and [If] the cat touching black [Then] broadcast say message 1.

                           

Now when the snow flower gets the message1, it will changes it color forever until we say stop.

Blog Purposes

We are the students from BIHS (Brooklyn International high school). Currently we are working on a project about to combine art and computer programing together by using Scratch, Arduino and some other technologies (laser cutter, Gimp,) to make a digital poetry machine. So in this blog we will typically update all the works that we’ve learned.
