Using circuit playground express, I created  clap lights then added on to it because it is the first thing that I saw and it looked fun to do. I am trying to perfect the perfect clap. The perfect clap is supposed to be loud and obnoxious. I think that I am getting good at it.😉

During this process, I learned  that some times you are going to fail and you are going to get mad but keep trying. I failed at putting on a specific link to make it so that my new additions to my project would work because there was a specific file that I was supposed to put the link on. That link is called CPLAYBOOT. I had to go back to the directions a couple time to figure it out.

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 Knowledge Constructor because I used Circuit Playground Express to create a lucky wheel. What I learned is to plan my project and use the tutorial to to learn how to code the right thing and make sure that it would actually work. 

A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out how to make the circuit work and put it on the right file. I was able to do it by after I pressed download I read the three step process on how to make it worked and it was right.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change nothing. I wouldn't change anything because overall the project was fun and challenging. It took me 4 and a half hours to finish which was just enough time.
