List of ten good ideas:
Spelling words
drawing images
draw shapes
coding a maze
Making lines and angles
spelling HMS
draw animals
During this project I worked in a group of 2. The materials I will need for this project is a I-pad, drawing robot, marker, and a space to draw. The plan for this project is to make letters and words drawn by the robot. My projects differs from other people is by being able to code a robot to draw letters to spell out words.
Day 1. Me and my partner brainstormed on what we should do for a project and decided to look around Mr. Renners cabinets for ideas and projects. We found a robot that you can code to draw with a marker.
Day 2. My partner and I used the I-Pad and robot to figure out how to code the robot and draw. We also messed around with the base designs so we could see what the robot could do.
This is a photo of the code we used to make the H.
On day one me and my partner coded the I-robot to draw a H. Here is a video of the end product.
Day 3. Me and my partner are working on the M of our project. Tomorrow we will make a S for our school. HMS will be what we spell out because that is the initials of our school.
Here is a picture of the code for the M. It shows the marker and movement commands.
Day 4. My partner and I created the S and edited all of the videos together with I-movie.
Day 5: My partner and I finished the S and started work on the I- Movie finished product that has all three videos together spelling out a word.
This is a photo of the code that I used to make the S. It shows angles and forward motions.
This is a video of the S being drawn by the robot.
Using I-robot, I-pads, and markers, I created H.M.S because that is the letters that represent the school I go to.
During this process, I learned how to use angles and lines to spell words with coding.
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 spelled letters with a robot.
A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out what angles to put the robot at to draw lines and how far the robot had to travel. I was able to do it by trial and error moving the angles and distances every time.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the letters or paper. The reason why I would change it is so we could spell out the letters on the same page.
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 coding.
This is the final video I made in I-Movie showing all of the video and the completed letters.
