Have you ever left your fridge or freezer open, only to come back hours/days later to realise that you will have to defrost it, maybe buy more food, and what about the electricity cost! Well, Operation Arctic aims to solve this problem by notifying you via email if your fridge or freezer is left open for 3, 5 10 or 15 minutes, all with the use of a Raspberry Pi and a small bit of Python!
I have published the code here on Github, and there is more information here in the readme file

This year, I decided to organise an event for EU Code Week that would take place in Kildorrery N.S. EU Code Week is a grass-roots movement that celebrates creativity, problem solving and collaboration through programming and other tech activities. The idea is to make programming more visible, to show young, adults and elderly how you bring ideas to life with code, to demystify these skills and bring motivated people together to learn. My aim was to get each student of Kildorrery National School to write a line of code which would be the content of this website called "Thoughts of Kildorrery National School" The framework of the website was prepared by me and each student learned about the HTML and CSS of the segment they coded. Their segment displayed their Name, "Age" and a sentence or thought of their choice in a bubble. You can see the AWESOME results here
As an entry for Coolest Projects 2018, I decided to create a "Safety Box" using a Raspberry Pi 3B and a few sensors. After 3 months, the project was fully operational. It could detect, flames, smoke, gas, loud noises ("like a window breaking"), motion, flooding at ground level, dripping from the roof, extremely high or low temperatures, and would notify the owner via email it it detected any from the list. It would also send a picture via email if it detected motion. It also had a tilt sensor, so that if the owner was in trouble, they could "accidentally" or "secretly" knock it over the box to send an email to their trusted contacts.
secretly Hi there, welcome to the very first "Dillons Adventures In Coding" blog post. In 2016, I became the youngest person to climb to the highest point of every county in Ireland. I coded a website to keep track of my progress, giving each county a page on my site with the route I used and pictures of the walk. To create my website I used skills learned at Coderdojo Mallow and online resources. While doing the challenge I raised funds for Kildorrery Karate and Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services. To raise the money, I went around to local businesses and offered them an advert on my website if they sponsored me. To host my website I used GitHub. As well as all the details of the 32 county high point challenge the website has a “2017 Adventures” page. On this page I kept track of all outdoor activities I did in 2017. I hoped this might help people get outdoors walking, cycling, etc. when they saw the routes, pictures and stories I posted. I also had a page about myself, one to explain the challenge, and a gallery. I had pages for awards and media coverage as well as a page with useful links. When I had the challenge completed I added a page to tell others what they needed if they wanted to do the challenge. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and please check out my website at https://dillons32chpchallenge.github.io/progress/. I moved to a Blog to keep track of my adventures after 2017.
