H1 Hackathon Trip


            For Junior Year one of the field trips I went on was a class trip in Manhattan hosted by the HackerOne which is an organization which hosts hacking competitions and I find it extremely cool as hacking is something you see in movies and to see it in real life is something that piqued my interest and the entire experience was something I will always remember. When we first arrived to the location we were greeted with the option to take free merchandise such as shirts and bottles which is pretty nice. Soon after challenges started to begin in which we had to use our know of critical thinking and problem solving in order to complete tasks such as solving a rubix cube in under 5 minutes. Then we got into challenges more involved with coding such as JavaScript and jQuery and we were taught about how code ultimately effects websites in different ways. In the end the hosts ended the day which just telling us about the field  of computer science and even cyber-security as more and people should pursue careers in this field as it is growing more and more everyday which is good to know because I one day want a career in this field.

While we coded the game in App Lab and made finishing touches to it we then were required to put it in on a webpage so it can be seen in our portfolio. Placing on the webpage allowed viewers to play the game so people can see if th...

The image of myself was suppose to go  before the paragraph. Now to add an image to an HTML code, the image tag needs to be included in the code. Also the image source has to be included which can be done if the image is dragged into the software it is lines of codes are. The dimensions of the image can be manipulated by setting the height and width. Actually, only one valu...
