Are you working by yourself or in a team?
Myself
What materials will you need for your project?
iPad and a sphero bolt bot
What is your plan to create in this project?
I programmed the bot to dodge objects
What unique qualities will your project have?
Dodging objects and moving.
Day 1: I got my website ready for this project.
Day 2: I got the Sphero bot out and messed with it a little bit
Day 4: I did my first program.
Day 4: I added a ramp
Day 5: I made a code that went around the chair then went on the ramp.
Day 6: I started to finish up my website page.
Using an iPad and a sphero bolt, I created a code to dodge obstacles because I felt like it was a great start of coding something and it was fun.
During this process, I learned coding has a lot of trial and errors.
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 figured out of what code would work for what I wanted to the Sphero bolt to do.
A challenge I overcame on this project was finding the right timing and speed I needed to get around the obstacles. I was able to do it by trail and error.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the entire code and the purpose. The reason why I would change it is because I feel like I could've done something more complex than this but still have it be a good challenge.
