Reflection

• Using the equipment from the ABii Package, we created an ABii Robot that helps kids who need a little extra help when learning new things. We made it because I knew it would be fun to make a robot that will be used in one of the elementary schools. Also, I thought that making a robot would be super cool and would probably be more fun than the other things I could've done.

• During this process, I learned a TON of things as to any other project. They include some basic things that are just like what a footboard, Rasberry-Pi, and all those other things even are and what they look like and do. Also, I learned how a robot is computed and how everything works to make a robot move and to things.

• 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. It connects to knowledge constructor because I made a robot for the first time ever, making my knowledge on robots more advansive.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out how to comprehend with a different motor than what the instructions had us use. I was able to do it by reaching out to one of the people that works at the ABii building and asked how we could use what we have to keep building it. Another challenge was  fixing the audio after it wasn't working when we screwed everything in. I did that by unscrewing all the screws on the leg and back and plugged in all the wires because one of the wires was loose, and then screwed it all back together again after double checking the audio.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change how careful we screwed in the screws. The reason why I would change it is because while we screwed in the screws we stripped like half of them and when we had to unscrew them to fix the audio, we had trouble unscrewing and screwing them back in because the screwdriver couldn't get a grip on it. I'd also change the amount of time and detail we put into building it to make it look exact to the example on the assembly guide because some of our screws didn't hold some parts complete and there's really small gaps on the back side that I wish weren't there.

• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing.  My project connects to the Computer Programming CTE program at Hastings High School. It connects to Computer Programming because we programmed a robot by connecting wires and making it do things off of the chromebooks.

• My project connects to careers in Robotics. They connect to those careers because we designed robots and programmed them and put together a robot. It also goes with careers in engineering and programming, just not as much as robotics.
