Kunhiyo ("I am healthy") Overdose Awareness 2024 Event Recap!

 NEW-Technical Resource Group

Shek^ - Sakoli Swakweku, 

At the Kunhiyo Event, NEW-TRG was happy to be in the informational table resources for a community IT Group from 9am to 2pm. 

A couple of highlights about NEW-TRG (in case you missed it):

1. A community IT Resource Group for working job skills and casino revenue software career path making - what positions do we need in the community to be filled and improved to send our youth to school for?

2. We know you may not enjoy technology or learning it but it is going to be a proficiency level in the future to continuously update and maintain technical knowledge in our leisure to our businesses - join NEW-TRG so we can learn together! 

3. Research, Projects, Data Governance gathering for our businesses to recruit interested people to volunteer for projects and assist for resume quality while reporting to the community about it with NEW-TRG!

4. There is no other Technical Resource Group in the community right now. Join NEW-TRG to be found, to locate answers, to group for a good cause!

5. We need a community knowledge base to be prepared to go into GTC prepared and raising the level of quality in meeting times. We also need to narrow the technological gap from professional to learner to interested to daily use people. There is a HUGE gap from our community in bridging our questions, concerns, and input for our laws that have yet to be developed!

If there are any other events in the community to invite NEW-TRG that is more than welcome! Currently seeking:

•  Intro to Python Course with interested individuals in the Northeast of Wisconsin area! 
• Currently seeking Appleton and Shawano Area interested people! There is a search for computer resources with software and online access that we can use as a group. 
• Any suggestions and input is appreciated!

Amazing work by the staff and coordinators of the Kunhiyo Event. Definately an eye-opener with community involvement and events to provide resources. NEW-TRG is proud to be a part of this event!

Yaw^ko!

Intro to Python: Take a Peek!

LearnPython.Com has great beginner steps for learning logic (equations), syntax (grammar structure), and examples that are easy to follow!

In this code snippet, there are a couple of things that are happening. 
1. variableName (what you want to call your result from the rest of the sentence and what the value returned shall be known as hereAfter).

•         equals sign always represents assigning the value after it to the variableName

•         there are dataTypes - something the memory of the computer needs to assign size for whatever you are working with. The best estimate you have makes the program run faster if at least amount. That is the "int" part. It means "integer" or number, whole number, typically. Not decimals - they'll probably roll that out later if they have a dataType for it. 
• input is referring to the type of variableName this actually is.. its going to be something you ask the user to respond or interact with - in real time. The module we work with can also be found at www.w3Schools.com when researching programming language, references, code snippets to alter and use. Very convenient when learning the ropes. 
• the last part of this first line is what you want your user to respond, the question. All of the 'oompf' of single quotation marks are necessary. It is designated print, automatically a string dataType (or words, letters, and sometimes certain characters are restricted from being assumed text words - because int is number, we have to convert those into text...), and yes the space is necessary because we are programming speed with short hand programming syntax/language as possible and every space has a value in the response time. Not to mention, understanding it as it can be returned to us in that print style of English grammar. 

The rest goes on to explain the if statement and the type of program it is as a whole. This asks the user for any number. The logic of it is in the if statements - you are giving it options to respond with what the user gives you. So, that means programming certain paths by giving it this or that (if statements are good for these types of decision making models). 

Program will do something like this:

Computer says: Provide a number: _  <<<<that little cursor will flash, waiting for a response...

You say: 3

Computer goes through the program you wrote (above) and determines that it cannot be divided (the % sign means division in Python) because it absolutely (the == sign means it has to be precisely that value) has value when divided by 2. So, the computer skips this step because it does not apply.

The computer goes to the next step. 

The else statement means, if its not this even number requirement then every answer outside of this HAS to mean its an odd number. Because that is what the program provides for answer. 

There could be technical defaults here but that is more than we need to explain (decimal - we haven't put up default statements, exception reports for what if the user goes outside of a whole number pathways to ask again).

Try repeating the steps and explaining each step to understand what it's asking you to do and how you solve it. 

Learning how to program in code is a difficult thing to do if you do not practice it daily. Strategizing mathematical concepts and putting them to use has to start young. Some of this is in our playground equipment we have for children on the reservation. I just seen Three Sisters was building a new playground and thought 'how boring' for those kids. We need something that projects their expectations and that means asking nerds, technical adults in our working fields, professionals - how would you like to play as a kid because it taught you something you needed throughout your life? Most people account sports to this, but not every kid can be an athlete unfortunately. 

Think about it. 

Join NEW-TRG and integrate it into your life so your children & grandchildren can benefit from it. 

Kunhi:yo Event - I'm Healthy

 Kunhi:yo - Overdose Awareness Event

Oneida Hotel - 2040 Airport Drive. Green Bay, Wisconsin 54304

August 29, 2024

9Am - 2PM

NEW-TRG 

Come check us out at the Kunhi:yo Event with Oneida Social Services and Resources as an informational booth. Brooke Metoxen-Smith will be handing out pamphlets, flyers, stickers with NEW-TRG and answering questions on projects with NEW-TRG and recruiting interest for joining to begin a new path in life. 

One of the concerns in newly attained sobriety is what to do with the time, breaking bad habits, and direction in life with community activity and people alike. Support groups being present along with other social accomodations to relieve that question on a professional level if need be, NEW-TRG is offering assistance with delving into technological avenues. 

Seeing that Native American advocates are cheering you on to join them and to apply yourself towards a new chapter in your life may be encouraging and attainable within you. People who say its too difficult or they aren't into it could be uplifted and need a new venture to get into. The people will not be disappointed in their time spent researching IT Topics and technological advancements. It will always be useful and build atop what you previously learned. We are always learning and if you can take the time to learn, and explain what was most effective for you - that is all the battle right there. You will be helping countless others after you in being able to explain what worked to help NEW-TRG remain connected with elders, the technological adept, and the disabled who may not be able to use what you are reviewing. We need your input to connect those who cannot learn it!

Join us at the event and stop by and say hi! We will be doing short surveys if you could to engage in conversations with us and what our project spaces mean for the people.
