7p9-sphero

Using Sphero EDU, I created a code that programs my robot to surround the an square on a piece of paper.I did this because the project says to pick a shape and draw it.Then once you draw a shape on a piece of paper you go to your shpero EDU and code your robot to go around the outside of the shape.During this process, I learned how to use different robots and how to program them. I also learned how to make my own words on the sphero edu app to show up on the sphero bolts.

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 Creative Communicator because I had to program my robot to do a maze and a shape. I did this because the project said we have to create a code that tells the robot to go around the shape that you pick.

A challenge I overcame on this project was how to get the right angle, and how to have the robot not to turn more than it needs to. I was able to do it by trying over and over again until i got the right angle on how much I wanted my robot to turn and asked some friends.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change my shape because I found it hard to find the right turns and speeds for an square. The reason why I would change it is because it is hard finding the right speeds and angles for an square. This project connect to careers in Computer System Engineering.
