This year, Cartersville High School took part in the regional technology competition, with four groups scoring first. William Reed and his partner Malachi Weir both achieved first place in their category of web and mobile apps. Their project is a scheduling website for schools. It has separate interfaces for both clients and admins; the website can also help students choose what classes they should take the next semester. The admins can then access that information in case there is any instance they need to. This website aims to cut down on common errors that other scheduling pages may have, making an easier and more user-friendly experience. Connor Lyles won with his entry for the digital game category. The game is an open world role play game, much like Minecraft, but without cubes. What sets it apart is how each and every entity has the ability to somewhat evolve on their own without player interaction. Furthermore, the game has an accurate day and night cycle with each phase of the moon, constellations, and more. The sun’s position also changes in the sky depending on the time of day. William Galland and Zachary Rosshirt also entered the digital game design with their asteroid–type game. It’s a limitless game where you drive a spaceship through a field of asteroids. You can also shoot at these asteroids to help you gain points. Finally, Calvin Ippenson entered the physical computing category. He created an accessible mouse for people with chronic conditions such as arthritis or tremors. His model was created with a joystick as well as microchips, and he 3D-printed a case. Overall, Cartersville did a wonderful job at the competition and has a great outlook for future events.
