After months of research, it is very visible now that the members working on the college campus safety device, Aegis, are making tremendous headway. Tom Corona and Tristan Frey are coding the transition between the login page and the functions of the website. They are trying to make it so that when a user types in new or existing login information, the program executes script based on the inputs that it receives. Whether new or existing information, the login sequence is a daunting task. While they are working on the login, Chad Baker and myself have created a semi-functionable HTML web page that will be the scaffolding for the Java code that Tom and Tristan are making. After we have all the information typed up in HTML, we will use CSS to style the web page.

Today, the InvenTeam members are working on Aegis are focusing on the HTML layout while Tom Corona and Tristan Frey continue to use Java to program the functions of their idea. Chad Baker and myself are working on getting a functionable website up and running that people can use to contact us before we implement the Java functions onto the website. Also, Mackenzie Knight and James Millar are working on finding materials that they can use to construct a prototype of the water recycling feature that they designed for the Shower Temperature Control Unit. They also finished a logo and are working on programming the PLC unit simultaneously.

Today, Nick Florin and Chad Baker finished the final logo for the project. Also, the group fixed the problems they were having with Eclipse on the school computers and was able to continue programming the website. They are focusing some attention on HTML now in order to construct the outline of the website.

The InvenTeam members at Saratoga Springs High School recently received news that they would be featured as one of the InvenTeams on MIT's website. I wrote and revised a statement about what our goals are for this year and we took another picture to display on their site.
The Saratoga Springs High School InvenTeam will invent a cell phone application which will allow college students to alert campus security directly from their smartphones. Security will control the system through the database side of the website while the students will have a shortcut to the alert side of the website on their smartphone. When students alert campus security through the website on their phone, the database function of the website will provide security picture identification of the student, defining characteristics, as well as an active GPS location of where they are on the campus. The application will be marketed to college campuses across the country and will lessen the amount of assaults and other crimes committed on campuses year round.

On Wednesday, Tom Corona and Tristan Frey, members of the group working on Aegis, met with Tom Hays at the library to discuss problems the group was having in programming the Java code of their prototype. Tom helped them figure out the problems they were having reopening the projects in Eclipse on the school computers and gave them help with Persistence Manager Factor.

For those students in the introductory Project Lead the Way courses such as Introduction to Engineering and Design, Digital Electronics, Principles of Engineering, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, and Civil Engineering/Architecture, there is a new tutoring opportunity available. InvenTeam members in EDD are going to be tutoring these students throughout the year and can help with hands on projects, software, and can even help you to understand concepts.
For interested students, please contact Mr. Gallagher or your Project Lead the Way teacher. Tutoring will be available every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afterschool in either Mr. Gallagher's room or your classroom.
Please sign up for a date if you are interested. Click on this link and use the calendar to sign up for a date by clicking in the appropriate box.
If you do not have a Gmail email address, you will need to make one to view the calendar.
