Personal data can be name, home address, age, birthday, height, weight, student ID#, blood type, or medical records. Less obvious is information, such friends, the route you take to school, the colleges or careers you are considering, favorite foods/colors/clothing styles/classes at school, etc. There is information collected from your cell phone or other device such as location history, internet browsing history, or login names and passwords.
Arrays store data creating a kind of data portrait of an individual or group. It can be used to show you places you’ve visited, identify things you might want based on websites you’ve viewed, or give you answers to a quiz online.
Arrays can use words or numbers, but not special characters, and not both at the same time.
The “var” at the beginning stands for variable. You have to add ‘var’ before for JavaScript to regognize your Array as a variable.
An example of words – dreams you have:
var myDreams = [“travel”, “nice house”, “college career”]
An example of numbers – ounces of water you drink each day:
var myWater1 = [64, 72, 80, 62, 84, 76, 78]
Scouts make an array of anything they can list. Mix up all the arrays and hand them out at random. See if they can guess which array belongs to who.
Examples:
- var myLooks = [“brown eyes”, “5 foot 2 inches tall”, “blonde hair”, “strong arms”]
- var myHousehold = [“sister”, “brother”, “mother”, “father”, “uncle”, “aunt”, “cousin”, “cousin”]
- var statesLivedin = [“Utah”, “Illinois”, “California”, “Oregon”, “Texas”]
- var dailyChores = [“sleep 8 hours”, “brush teeth twice a day”, “15-minute walk”, “load and unload dishwasher”, “homework”]
If they need a direct guide for what to list – give them a printout of the 6 Shoes Vogue Recommends to list as an array.
