• Using Sphero EDU, I coded the Sphero Mini to go around a square/rectangle (I don't know) because I totally forgot how to code a Sphero and all of the controls. I forgot all of the coding blocks, from the one that changes color to the one the block that actually moves the Sphero. I was trying to do the maze, but it was too hard and I could not do it in time. So I decided to go an easier route and remember what blocks to do what and all of that. Now people may think that I still remember all of the coding from last year, but I don't.

• During this process, I remembered all of the coding blocks that I used last year for the Sphero Mini. I know it may seem weird that I forgot everything, but from the Coronavirus, to the vaccines, to politics, to all of the racist and not good things that have happened, I just forgot about the Sphero. But now I am all good. I remembered about the tacking thing, the directions and how fast it goes, the changing of the colors, all of that.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered Learner because I decided that I wanted to remember all of the coding blocks for the Sphero Mini. I could of just not remembered and do a different project, but I decided that I wanted to remember and even learn more coding blocks.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was what I was gonna do, like was I gonna do the maze or a shape. I was able to do it by doing the maze first and then when it came down to the last day, I decided that it would be better to do a square because it would be faster and I would not have this assignment late. I could of done the Hexagon, but I was too worried about having a missing assignment that I decided to do the easiest shape, a square, or a rectangle..

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the shape. The reason why I would change it is because the square is the easiest shape, the hexagon would be the perfect shape. It is not too hard, but not too easy. If I could not do a shape, I would do the maze on the 1st exit. That is hard, but not THAT hard. I bet that a 6th grader that has have enough practice with the Sphero could definitely do the maze. But the 6h grades are also very dumb.
