Learning Through Tinkering
summary
Claims that relevant IT knowledge has a half-life 2–5 years, and concrete experiments using Java/JavaFX for a small physics engine (location, velocity, acceleration, gravity and wind forces) produce a readable companion cube game that works. Attempts with OpenCV facial recognition for class attendance fail and expose bias (racist facial-recognition mistake), while using Teachable Machine lets a browser model map arm positions to game controls. Reverse engineering Pokémon Go surfaces Protocol Buffers and S2 mapping; bubblebox.be proves simple web tools can help elders connect.
