Day 4 of Camp

A lot of moving around today. :) We learned how to make a walk cycle, for example. A walk cycle is an animation of someone--or something--walking in a lifelike manner. We made ours with this old woocut of this guy that looks like the Guiness Beer guy (lol), and I added a little red wagon following him around into mine. Then, we left for the CU Planetarium! We looked a Science on a Sphere. SOAS is a multisource projection system onto a globe, onto which we can display images and models of the earth, so that you get a full, digitally customizable model of earth (or saturn, or marz, etc). We then toured the Applied Math and Computer Science departments of the Engineering Building; very cool. We had lunch in the beautiful sun there, and then we returned for programming, in which we made a predictive model that compares how polar ice melting will raise sea levels in ratio to the scale statue of liberty (and, in mine, and random t-rex). I don't want to embed flash right now, so here's a screenshot:



Anyhow, it was really fun. See you in another post again soon!

Best,
