Using, iPads, Sphero EDU, iMovie, Go, Dash, iRobot Coding, iRobot, Sphero Mini, and Sphero Bolt, I created a LEGO catapult for Dash, and a message reading EMO with the iRobot. Along with these two projects, I also created a square, rectangle, triangle, and a trapezoid with the Sphero Mini, and finally, a party bomb with Sphero Bolt. I created these projects so I could get better at coding.
During this process, I learned that coding a robot was a lot harder than coding with the Merge Cube and Mircrobit. In the past projects, the only things I had to move were letters, and digital objects. With these projects, I had to get the robots themselves to move. This was tough because some of the robots were hard to navigate.
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 searched up information online about these robots. My project also ties to Empowered Learner because I set a goal and acheived it.
A challenge I overcame in this project was barely having experiences with robots. In elementary school, I worked a little bit with dash, but that was more controlling than coding. I was able to overcome this by asking Mr. Renner, and my friends on how to do a certain thing or what something was.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change my extra credit project. The reason why I would change it is because it was a little simple. I started it the day before the project was due, so I thought of something that would be done quickly.
