Recently in Help Desk we have been using a tool called AWS. AWS stands for Amazon Web Services and is used to make many different chatbots in the cloud so they can be used or edited at anytime. Chatbots are helpful tools that you can talk to that can answer any questions you have or complete any simple online tasks. Some common chatbots are Alexa and Siri. I was having trouble building a chatbot but if I had more practice I might of been able to understand it a bit. If you want to build your own chatbot visit https://aws.amazon.com/

Recently in Help Desk we used a new game designing website. This website was called GameSalad and we are working on another simple game with it. GameSalad is another tool that can be used in a browser with no download. Teachers can make classes for their students so they can go through tutorials with them. There are many tutorials and templates on GameSalad that can help someone with little experience with game designing learn a lot more. If you want to learn more about GameSalad and create your own account visit https://gamesalad.com.
In Help Desk we have worked on creating a simple game. We used a website called Flowlab to create it. Flowlab is a website that helps teach game design and has visual coding. It is simple to use and requires no download. The platformer game that I have been creating was easy to make but the programming can be a bit tricky to understand. After some practice though it was easy to incorporate into my platformer. I believe the tutorial for the game creator can be improved since it is really short and barely teaches you any of the programming. Other than that I believe that Flowlab can be a good learning tool for people who want to learn the basics of visual programming. If you want to create an account on Flowlab visit https://flowlab.io.
Many people believe that video games can only be bad for you. Scientists have done research and learned that some video games can help with mental health issues. Video games like Animal Crossing and Plants vs Zombies were proven in a survey to help people with mental health issues.

There is not enough information yet but this could be a start for videogames that are able to help people with their health.

Recently in Help Desk we were able to go outside and fly a drone. This drone was called the Mavic Pro 2 and could do many cool tricks. We were able to fly a bit under 400 feet in the air and took pictures and recorded videos with the amazing camera on it. There was also a feature were the drone would follow you as you ran or walked around. Soon we will try to use the hand mode option where your are able to use your hands to control the Mavic Pro 2. If you are skilled enough you can use the stunt mode on the drone to fly around at high speeds and record some very cool videos. If you want to learn more about the Mavic Pro 2 visit https://www.dji.com/mavic-2.
Today I read about a toothbrush called SonicX Pro. This toothbrush can help overcome many dental problems. It has a modern design and is easy to use. SonicX Pro has a long battery life due to the rechargeable batteries. It has four different modes and has the ability to whiten teeth. I would say that is a well made toothbrush. This toothbrush can also help you save money at the dentist. If you want to get your own SonicX Pro toothbrush visit https://www.sonicxpro.pro/
Today I read about and invention called FIXD. This little device will help you save money on unnecessary car repairs. You simply plug FIXD into your car's diagnostics port and it will tell you if anything is wrong with your vehicle. It only works on cars built since 1996 though so hopefully you do not have an old car. FIXD have sold over 50 million dollars in sales since 2018.

Today I learned about a new invention called the Mosquitotron. This machine attracts mosquitos with the blue lights on it. Once the mosquitos come they are sucked in by a small fan that puts them in a cage at the bottom. Once they are sucked in they wither away. This is a smart invention because it is able to kill mosquitos without using and toxins.

On June 1, 2020 Nickelodeon went dark for eight minutes and forty-six seconds to protest police brutality. ViacomCBS decide that all there networks (MTV, VH1, CMT, and Nickelodeon) should go dark in honor of George Floyd and in support of social justice. While MTV, VHI, and CMT had an adult audience, Nickelodeon had a kid audience. So Nickelodeon decide to make a more kid friendly message than having kids listen to eight minutes and forty-six seconds of heavy breathing. Nickelodeon created a list of what kids could do and that was a smart alternative. If you want to learn more about this go to https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nickelodeon-off-air-protest/
