Planning
Yes, by myself.
Yes I'll need the computer, some sort of planning, and my brain.
My plan to create this project will be to think outside the box, and learn as I go to make it better.
One big unique quality that will be different from everybody else will be, I'm always gonna make it better not go with the same idea from the start.
Using my skills and understanding now with micro bits, I created a pretty cool compass because I thought it would be interesting to figure out if the micro bit could actually get it right. This piece of tech is pretty advanced and it can do a lot more complicated codes, than a compass. After I figured out my code for my project I downloaded it to the tech and my theory was very wrong. Every time I point it to north it says north and so on, it is very cool.
During this process, I learned its a lot more harder than I thought. I didn't realize you had to do so many codes just to make it do what you want. Not only were the codes long but they were also complicated. Apparently there were also a couple of codes I didn't even know and I'm positive I scanned through all of them.
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 had to put a lot of thought into the micro bit to make it show the symbols. There were so many moving parts to this project. If I put one code in wrong then it wouldn't work.
A challenge I overcame on this project was when I was putting in all the codes, at one point I screwed up really bad and I had to redo my project. I was able to do it by working hard and making sure I put the codes in right. I also had to change some codes completely.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change probably the whole project. The reason why I would change it is because I thought , once I was done, it was kind of boring and simple. I definitely could have made it a lot cooler and more eyepopping. But a compass is very useful.
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 Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in like manufacturing because you need to put in codes for the machine to work.

It shows North, South, East, and West.
