I created “Ichi Slack Bot,” an animal-themed Slack bot created as part of the NASA Stardance Challenge. This is my first coding project outside of school. I created it while learning the basics of JavaScript, APIs, Slack bot development, and programming through Stardance. The bot is designed around my interest in animals and chemistry. It provides information about cats and dogs, including animal-related chemistry, breeds, foods that dogs should avoid, and feeding reminders. I had fun while doing this, although I was quite puzzled about how to use GitHub at first!
I made a website about chemistry with built-in apps. The website is designed as a small digital laboratory where visitors can explore chemistry notes, the periodic table, chemistry topics, learning resources, and an interactive chemistry quiz. I wanted to combine my interest in chemistry with a fun and personal web design, so I created the website to look like a small desktop environment with different chemistry applications. It was quite hard since it took me a lot of time and it’s only my 2nd time doing this.
