8P6- Sphero Mini

Using a Sphero mini robot, I created different regular shapes. I did it because I had to learn how to make a robot make different shapes.

During this process, I learned that coding robots can be hard but it can also be easy. It really just depends on if you have done it or not. Since I did it last year it was little bit easier.

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 Innovative Designer because I used different robots to solve different problems about coding. My project also ties to creative communicator because I shared my codes on my website.

A challenge I overcame on this project was making the right code. It was a challenge because I kept messing the code up. I was able to do it by Moving everything around until I got the right code.. We also had a lot of trouble connecting the robots to the ipad. We overcame this by trying each robot that we could connect to until we found our robot.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change what shapes I would do with the Sphero mini because I did quick and easy shapes so I get it over and done with.
