I want to thank Mrs. Wassmuth, who is the leader of my Girl Scout troop and the teacher at Grisham Middle that presented me with this wonderful opportunity.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tubQeLtePzY/VT-eTpBDj5I/AAAAAAAAGuM/XpA3j6xOyxQ/s1600/11151011_10153797942486490_2296224016705818664_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tubQeLtePzY/VT-eTpBDj5I/AAAAAAAAGuM/XpA3j6xOyxQ/s1600/11151011_10153797942486490_2296224016705818664_n.jpg" height="238" width="320" /></a> I was able to speak with the students about their interests and bring it around to coding. One female student wanted to go into dancing and the arts, I was excited to show her the video of Miral Kotb, a dancer from Broadway that uses code to bring together lighting and dancing.<br />
Even the male students that had attended enjoyed the activities and even the videos. One male student wanted to go into music, I showed him the video of Ebony "Wondagurl" Oshunrinde and how at age 19 she was nominated for a Grammy and was featured on one of Jay-Z's albums. In the video she talked about how the music programs she used is just coding with blocks.<br />
After the opening and me showing them some of the videos, we went right into the activities. My favorite to always start off with is the Dancing Yeti. I use this first activity because I can explain three different simple and basic coding languages easily within the frame-set of the Yeti project.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ypZknmm6A7I/VT-eUkjFcOI/AAAAAAAAGuU/5EdiemIb8j4/s1600/11193288_10153797942401490_1354012547125759620_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ypZknmm6A7I/VT-eUkjFcOI/AAAAAAAAGuU/5EdiemIb8j4/s1600/11193288_10153797942401490_1354012547125759620_n.jpg" height="200" width="145" /></a> The Yeti itself represents HTML, or the bones. HTML is the base of any website, its what gives it structure. The next step was changing the color, foot size and hand size of the Yeti, I called this the CSS of the Yeti. CSS is the font, the font size, background color and margin spacing of any website you see and/or use. The last step was to make the Yeti dance, I used this action to describe JavaScript. The last language is used to create fancy effects.<br />
After the explanation, they explored the other projects and visited Scratch, another block coding site.<br />
I enjoyed speaking with the students and hope that they continue having fun with coding and that they are able to begin coding at school in their own Makers Space soon.<br />
<br />
Happy Coding,<br />

It does sound a little interesting to be a Moisture Farmer, but it would be fun to have any job that involves technology whether that be a fashion designer, a doctor, a choreographer and a<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> movie animator.

Or how each one advanced into the technology we have today? I thought that this morning and was doing a bit of searching and I found this link from PBS website:<br />
<br />
http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ate10.sci.engin.design.techovertime/technology-over-time/<br />
<br />
Its a great interactive timeline, you can see things change over the years and its great! I have to say, out of all of them the funniest one to cross over was the Tubberware. I'd always had tubberware in the house but never thought "Oh, when was this invented?" just because it was something so simple I thought it was always around, but no! It was made in 1955.<br />
The "evelution" of radio was interesting as well.<br />
<br />
If you check it out and are interested in more technology advancements check out some of the videos on the Made w/Code website! Last time I checked there wasn't any advancement of Tubberware but they're still pretty amazing to watch!<br />

I remember when my parents got a matching set of phones that had a walkie talkie setting, I also remember when the flip phone was cool. Now we have phones that have absolutely everything. You can have hundreds of apps, have the phone tell you jokes, you can listen to music on it, take photos with it, send emails... you can do anything and everything!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span><div>

Crazy right? All their computers and pieces of technology don't even compare to a phone that most middle schoolers have today.</span><div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>

Wow.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>

The PS3 now is known as an out of date gaming system and you can purchase it for $300 or less. Pretty cheap as far as gaming systems go right? But not as up to date and technologically advanced as the PS4. However the PS3 has more technological power than the US Military Supercomputer did in 1997 (thats only 16 years ago) and costs WAAAAAAAAAAYYY less. The Supercomputer cost a couple MILLION dollars!</span></div>

Looking for, yet again, another piece (or pieces) of technology from the past that have challenged the youth of today. Thought that you'd like this video:<br />
<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pCp8g-VjOs<br />
<br />
I actually had that version of the Nintendo Gameboy, some of the first games I had was The Adventures of Mario, Pokemon Blue and Kirby. I remember playing these games and really enjoying them. Some of the kids reactions were really funny.<br />
<br />
If someone had given you a Gameboy like that, would you have known what it was and how to use it?<br />
Did you once have a game like the one in the video?<br />
What about other games?<br />
<br />
Don't forget, go check out the Made w/Code website and remember to share it with your friends and family!<br />
<br />

The past couple of times I had posted photos, I thought this time I would find a video that shows how this generation acted towards technology from a couple decades ago, enjoy - </div>

I found this very funny xD and hope that you enjoyed it too. I actually have never used an "old" apple computer, but I have used and know what a floppy disc is.

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Its Wednesday meaning on Social Media you'll probably see many posts of women and girls who have influenced a life. I would like to take the time and appreciate women who have influenced and have contributed to science! Check out this website:</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
Its both funny, interesting and inspiring. If you liked it (or even if you didn't) you should go check out the Made w/Code website and read about other women and young women who are making their mark on science and history!</div>

<br />
Which one do you use more often? A tablet? Or a PC? Did you know that over the years PC sales have declined because people are beginning to use tablets more and more? Why do you think?<br />
<br />
Then reading about Starbucks's app was surprising. I didn't even know one existed, but with a coffee shop chain like Starbucks I think I'd be more surprised if they didn't have one. Do you have the app? If so, how do you like it? Anything you'd want to change or add?<br />
<br />
These are only two of the ten this site talks about. Check it out:<br />

And once you're done, head on over to the Made w/Code website and try out some of the games!<br />

I started this today when I was looking for women in the field of science. </span></span><br />

Read about it in the website above.</span></span></div>

Then and Now - Made w/CodeI was looking for a woman that made a big breakthrough in science and made a difference. When I stumbled across this site.<br />
<div>
http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/inventions/10-things-that-women-invented.htm#page=0</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These women, some in science, yes made a big breakthrough. Others, made somethings that we take for granted today! Windshield Wipers for example.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the Made w/Code classes I teach the girls also go over the process of planning, creating and implementing ideas. I saw this and thought "if these girls are beginning now, who knows what they'll create in the future!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you thought these 10 were interesting, look at what other girls and women are doing now!</div>

Its Transformation Tuesday!<br />
<br />
It was actually a couple days ago that my mom and I were talking about how you can tell just how old a piece of technology is just by its thickness.<br />
<br />
A computer, a phone, TV's, movies (VHS vs. DVD), music (cassettes vs. CD's).<br />
<br />
<br />
And along with these advances in... size, came the advancement in how they work. I see this advancement every second and fourth Friday of every month when I work with my Made w/Code girls. Coding and programming have come a long way and I am so glad that I get to help the next generation get ready to make the next big advancement!<br />
<br />
I would love to talk to your troop, youth group, club, and/or school about the Made w/Code project. If you're at all interested please contact me at sarah@discovergreenyel.org<br />
Until then! <a href="http://clixtrac.com/goto/?191773">http://clixtrac.com/goto/?191773</a> Happy coding!<br />

<b>Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling</b><br />
<br />
Did you know that in every song, coding is involved? The auto-tune of the voice, the syncing of the instruments, any electronic sound? Coding.<br />
<br />
Whats your favorite type of song? Electronica? Dubstep? All these use a type of encrypting language, all studios have a sound board which uses technology, which then using coding.<br />
<br />
Its all around us, in our clothes, our movies, in our music. Try making your own song with code at http://clixtrac.com/goto/?191773<br />
<br />
Have fun, share with friends!<br />

This day is dedicated to sciences and I have had the opportunity to teach one session for all three age groups these days. </span></span></div>

Being an older Girl Scout has presented me with many opportunities. One that I have recently accepted is an internship with my Girl Scout council. My job with this internship is to get youth interested, involved and inspired with computer coding.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
This site, <a href="http://clixtrac.com/goto/?191773" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">http://clixtrac.com/goto/?191773</a> has activities and videos that show youth that coding isn't something scary or difficult. Even better is that it shows that girls, just like you, can do big things in computer coding. From creating the next big animated movie like Frozen, to winning a Grammy for music.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Go check out the new activity called Music Mixer and try creating your own original song, or make your own avatar. And at the end, share with friends on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. To show them what you've done and that they can do it too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
To go along with these activities you can earn Girl Scout badges as well. The juniors can earn the digital photographer badge in addition to the entertainment technology badge. The Cadets can earn the digital movie maker badge, Seniors, the website designer and social innovator badge. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
Each of the Made w/Code activities then comes with a what you've learned, discuss with each other what that was. How was it? Was it difficult? Did you even know you were learning it? What kind of job would use that skill? Do, talk, learn and share. Four steps towards digital literacy and a higher percentage of females in the technology workforce. Have fun!</div>

I am attending as a member of our councils delegation to GSLI.<br />
<br />
As you can tell by my blog - I LOVE the Outdoors and think that ALL girls need to get outside! And the Outdoor Discussion is high on my list of activities.<br />
<br />
I am also excited to wear all the old uniforms we have -- I have made sure to have earned almost all of the badges on those uniforms - which is really cool.<br />
<br />
If you see me -- say "Hi" and let me know that you have visited my blog!<br />

See you soon!<br />

<br />
I would love to see more councils use this Journey. It is designed to be led by the girls (not the adults) and their is only ONE guide.<br />

It has been fun.<br />
<br />
We started it during the 100th anniversary - including my grandmother. I am so lucky to be a fourth generation scout -- my great grandmother was a Canadian Girl Guide in the 1920's.<br />

Last week my mom encouraged one of my regular emailers to come to the presentation today. It was great that she could come -- and tonight -- Thank you Ms. Karen -- you make my day.<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">Sarah might enjoy this article I found about a spunky lady in a nursing home! I was looking up more stuff about the Gold Eaglet today at home, and found this. You may know I am a hearty scrapbooker, and today will certainly have a special place in my 11th GS album of all my years as a leader and SU member. I was so glad I took off school today and came up! So proud of you, Sarah!<br />

<br />
Not only did I get an early graduation present that is the best - my Grandfather got me a Golden Eaglet pin.<br />
<br />
To make it even better - Anna Maria Chavez was visiting our council and SHE pinned me!<br />
<br />
I don't even know how to describe the feelings.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This photo was a staged photo -- entirely because of the photo below with Juliette Gordon Low pinning a Golden Eaglet.<br />

Finally, I worked with different Girl Scouts in my troop and council wide on their Bronze and Gold Awards.
