The walls before we attached them
Using cardboard, I created an arena for Sphero Minis because I thought it would be fun and easy to make.
During this process, I learned How to use make an arena out of cardboard.
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 Global Collaborator. My project ties to Global Collaborator because I uploaded my video to my website so the world can see it.
A challenge I overcame on this project was making the walls. I was able to do it by using the provided plastic screws to make the walls stay in place.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change The floor. The reason why I would change it is because it is not able to hang over the ground like we planned.
