Reflection:

• Using Sphere Edu, I created patterns that different robots could use to move around because It was creative and fun to make. I started driving the robot and programming it to do different shape. Finally, I used a different robot the Sphero Bolt.

• During this process, I learned how to program a robot to drive and how to operate it. I also programmed it to drive in a custom pattern. I learned how to create patterns like a triangle or a rectangle.

• 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 had to learn how to drive and program the robot. I also had to learn how to learn how to connect to the Sphero Bolt robot.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was learning how to properly program the robot. I was able to do it by figuring out what angle to turn the robot to first. Then I would add the angle number (90) to itself to make a rectangle.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the triangular design for the third day. The reason why I would change it is because I could make it more detailed. For example I could have made a more intricate design like an octagon or a hexagon.
