Using Robots, two I-Pads, a marker, and a whiteboard, I created my five projects. I did this because I had to and because the robots were really cool. For one of my projects, I used the wrong robot so I had to start over again but it was still fun.

During this process, I learned about how to use trial and error to fix mistakes in your code that makes your robot do weird stuff. I also learned how to code all of the individual robots. Some were definitely more difficult than others, but I still figured it out in the end.

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 Computational Thinker. This is because I had to write my own codes to get my robot to do the individual challenges.

A challenge I overcame on this project was knowing how to make my robot do what I wanted it to. I was able to do it by a lot of trial and error. I also had to ask my peers when I had no idea what to do.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change my party bomb project. The reason why I would change it is because I feel like I could make it cooler and more party-y. I'd also change my writing project because the video was super long.
