8P4 Sphero

Using sphero, I created a programed robot because it is something that I haven't done before and I wanted to try it and see if it was something that I liked to do . During this process, I learned how to code and what I needed to put first in order for the code to work smoothly. 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 empowered learner because I set a goal to learn how to code while doing this project and by the end of this project I learned to code the robot, control it without coding, and what to put in the code. A challenge I overcame on this project was having to retry multiple codes and fixing the code to go correctly and how I wanted it to be. I was able to do it by looking at the tutorials and looking at what other people have done to get an idea on what to do. Given a chance to do this again, I would change the complexity of the code to make it longer and better. The reason why I would change it is because I wonder if I could be able to make the code longer and more fun to watch. 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 programing CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in network system administrator because they maintain computing environments in their networks and prevent disasters by backing up data. Providing network security and avoiding viruses are the major tasks, along with making sure codes are free of errors and protecting both the network and hardware of the computers.
