Garyl Lee's Coding Projects
Hi, I'm Garyl! After I began to learn block-based coding in robotics in Primary 3, I started seeing real-world problems in a more logical way. I managed to learn how to design and build a large variety of robots for various uses. It was also a great opportunity to improve my focus, patience and ability to work through challenges step-by-step. It was very eye-opening, seeing how technology can be used to solve real-world issues. I also felt inspired to be more creative, innovative and curious about how things work. Most of all, it has made learning exciting for me!
Touch-Activated Catapult
I built a catapult using LEGO Technic parts that launches bullets when a touch sensor is pressed. Working on this taught me that simple code can control real machines, it was super cool to see the catapult move exactly when I touched it!
Ultrasonic activated rack and pinion door
I learned how to use LEGO Technic parts to design and build various mechanical structures. By applying coding concepts such as conditionals (if-else) and incorporating different sensors, I built a rack and pinion door. Using an ultrasonic sensor, I recreated an automatic sliding door like those commonly found in shopping centers. The door opens when a person is detected within a certain range, demonstrating how sensor technology is used in real life to improve accessibility, convenience, and energy efficiency in public buildings
I participated in the Minecraft Foundation program, where I learned how to use Minecraft as a platform for coding and creativity. I explored various coding concepts while building and designing structures in the game, enhancing my problem-solving skills and understanding of programming logic.
