1 Hour of Code
For my code game I played flappy bird. I spent 1 hour of coding this game to perform the way I wanted. I made it all the way to the final level at level 10. You can use this site to play games that involve coding.

Favorite Apprentice Episode
i. My favorite episode of The Apprentice that we have watched in marketing was episode 2.
ii. 1. The task was to sell as much ice cream on the streets of New York as possible. The teams were given push carts of ice cream, the team with the largest profit won the challenge.
2. Project Managers: Apex: Ivana
Mosaic: Kelly
3. Prize: Nicest caviar restaurant in New York for dinner.
4. Who was taken into Boardroom: Stacie, Jen C, Bradford, Ivana
5. Who was fired and why: Bradford ended up getting fired. He was exempt after winning week 1 as project manager and decided to give up his exemption because he felt that he was by far the best performing member on the team. Donald Trump thought this was a very stupid decision and said to Bradford that if that kind of decision was made when running a company the company is immediately destroyed. For that reason, Bradford was fired.
6. Why was this my favorite episode: I liked the challenge of going out into the streets and getting the true New York experience, I also enjoyed this episode because of what happened in the boardroom watching Bradford get fired after making a very stupid decision.
7. Business aspect: I learned from this episode to never stand your guard down no matter how well you think you performed, because there is always something that can turn the tables on you.

College Mascots CE
Students come together under the institution’s iconic colors and logos, magnetic mascots and fans’ chants that echo throughout the stadium. When that community is stripped of its collective imagery, it presents the institution with the great challenge of rallying the troops under a new banner. Some schools have names that refer to native americans, which will enflame some people who are of NA descent.
