Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I'm working with one other person, Chloe.
What materials will you need for your project?
Circuit Playground Express, PC, and iMovie
What is your plan to create in this project?
Our plan is to create Flashing Fireworks. Which is basically where the lights change and it makes it look like fireworks. Also we made a different colored flashlight that makes an annoying sound that can scare off animals.
What unique qualities will your project have?
The Flashing Fireworks will be unique because we made our own design and pattern. The flashlight is unique because we made it a different color, it has an annoying sound, and it was our idea.
I wrote down a list of 10 good ideas and started thinking with my partner about what we should make.
Today we made the noise machine. It makes noises like the siren, power down, and more. We also made a flashlight that has different colors for the lights.
Today we made the Flashing Fireworks, a Piano song, and tried out other ideas. However, the other ideas didn't work out.
I made videos of my projects so far. This is a flashlight that we made. It has a different colored light and it makes a strange annoying sound.
I made a song on the Circuit Playground Express. The song was Mary had a Little Lamb. I wrote reflections and finished my project.
Reflection
Using CoSpaces, iMovie, and Circuit Playground Express we created Flashing Fireworks. Also we created Mary had a Little Lamb song because we thought it would be fun to make. We thought it would be unique to make Mary had a Little Lamb on the Circuit Playground Express.
During this process, I learned that Circuit Playground Express existed. Also I learned how to work with another person to get something done. I learned how to make a project by combining different ideas together to make it even better.
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 Innovative Designer because I used trial and error to improve the project. It also ties to Innovative Designer because in the end, when I finished my project, I learned something new.
A challenge I overcame on this project was working with a partner. I was able to do it by listening to their ideas and suggesting things to them. I also took their ideas to combine them with mine so that way we both have something we wanted in the project.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the Flashing Fireworks project. The reason why I would change it is because I would try to make it longer. I would also add more things to it, like sounds, so it doesn't just have flashing lights.
