Are you working by yourself or in a team?
Working in a team with Damion
What materials will you need for your project?
two iPads, a sphero robot, and the coding program
What is your plan to create in this project?
we plan to complete a few challenges with our robots
What unique qualities will your project have?
we will use different robots to finish challenges
Day 1: made my list of 25, answered the planning questions
Day 2: picked a partner and programmed our robot to go in a square
Day 3: made our robot run away
Day 4: kept working on our robot's code so that it would come back after running away
Day 5: worked on the code more because our robot got stuck
Day 6: finished the remaining challenges

race
bring things to people
chase people
herd sheep
play with animals
scare family

IMG_0129.MOVIMG_0144.MOVIMG_0145.MOVUsing two iPads, A sphero, and programming software, I created multiple different shapes with programming software, a catapult that I put together piece by piece, and a party bomb because we thought it would be the most interesting to create these three out of the options we were given.
During this process, I learned that sometimes robots go the wrong way and hit you. I also learned that sometimes recording is harder than it looks. I was able to solve this by getting out of the way of the robot and making sure the camera focuses before recording.
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 use my prior knowledge on coding to code a robot to complete challenges.
A challenge I overcame on this project was when we tried to build the catapult it kept breaking. I was able to do it by reinforcing the structure of the catapult. I also added area to the catapult so that it wouldn't fall.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the structure of the catapult. The reason why I would change it is because it fell about 9 times before it actually worked.
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 Programming CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in robot programming.
