Colour, In Math- Inquiry Project 2017

Inquiry 2017 -1xu7kj0

Main Question: My main inquiry question is “Can Colours Exist in a Mathematical Form?”. I wanted to know if it was possible for colour to be represented by math.

Further Questions: After all of my research and findings, I became really interested in the idea of being able to do what a computer does, in your own brain, mainly towards calculating colours and colour codes. My new question is “How do Computers Calculate the Hex Colour Code of Two Different Colours Added Together?”

Extension: This project was a really cool exploration for me because I learned a lot about the hexadecimal system and colour codes, which is so interesting to see. I found that being able to understand how the computer sees colour was really exciting because a device functions so differently than the human brain. Its very cool to see such a visual concept put into materialistic content, because colour really is something you see and witness. I think that I can go further with my project by elaborating my insight on the hexadecimal system, so one day, i can actually calculate and manipulate colours the way the computer does.

fullsizerenderIs this job for you

i don’t think this job is for me because it is not in my field of interest and i don’t feel like i could offer anything specifically directed towards this line of work.

Explain the value of the  TOKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post secondary plans.

TOKTW day really showed me what it would be like to work in a business marketing office and what type of task you would acquire. it also showed me what it takes to be able to work in an office like that, and what type of people work in an office. I always wondered what it would be like to work in an office and if it would be bring or not, but now i see that if you are really interested in your line of work then working in an office wouldn’t be that bad. The type of work my mom does may not be so fascinating to me but because it interests her she is okay with working in an office.
