    OK, we will spend the the 9:00 - 9;30 and 2:25-2:45 of Thursday Class talking about the 8 Bit Computer and what you should be working on.  Basically find the place you are in the flow in the Mechatronics Google Site for Ben Eater's 8 Bit Computer page and keep working. It is best to use the Focus on Foundations SLACK channel to ask for support questions... this way me, Randy, or any other students can help you.  Just post your question in the right channel.

              Here is the code we played with last Tuesday.  Look at This Code and read Strings

              Here is a coding assignment.  Run it first, and then start editing these labs.  It should be clear where to make the edits.  You should see sections labeled #1 #2 #3... follow the printed or commented instructions.  When you think you are done turn the link to your program in to the Google classroom assignment.  You will use many string methods, and you will need to read and understand the information found in the Strings reference guide.

                Stuff I Found & May Be Interesting To You
                • Hack-a-Day -  Virtual Classes and Webinar Calendar - These are a big list of events that are happening over the next few weeks.  Just check out the days, and attend... some are just YouTube live events, others are webinars... pick some thing that is interesting.

                • Vex Robotic -  "Vex Virtual Programming" Webinar - This is how to use a VEX online site to program a virtual robot, where you can still use code to tell your robot what to do.  This webinar is about using their block based code framework, but I think you can switch to use their normal text based C++ 
                Open LAB  and/or Robot Club 
                • LAB - Duration: 60 Min
                • Link: Robot Club Google Sites
                • Instructions & Expectations: Connect with your Robot Club Team.  Or do something interesting on your own.  If you have not turned in your 3D pront moddle, please do.  I'm starting to print them now
