On the first day, I learned how to drive the Sphero. The next day, I attempted to drive it in a rectangle, which I unfortunately don't have a video of. On the third day, Haley and I had a race, and then Garret and Reese had a race. The race between me and Haley is below (I am blue, Haley is pink).

Using a Sphero, me and my friend raced with our Spheros from one side of the room to the other.
During this process, I learned that things that looks easy are not always so easy.
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 we had to do a lot of trial and error in order to make our project work.
A challenge we overcame on this project was the Sphero becoming uncentered be cause we moved. We overcame this by nor moving the direction we were facing while driving a Sphero.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change what we made. The reason I would change it is because I feel like there were a lot of things we could have done that we didn't that would have been a lot more fun.

My project connects to the Computer Programming CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in Computer Programming because we had to calibrate things and figure out how the app worked.
