Are you working by yourself or in a team? I am working by myself.
What materials will you need for your project? A computer, an iPad and two robots.
What is your plan to create in this project? My plan is to do the steps my teacher is ordering me to do.
What unique qualities will your project have to separate it from other peoples’ projects? I will be doing different things with different robots.
Using Sphero, I created code for the robots. I did this because that was my task. It was fun anyways.
During this process, I learned how much speed you need to make the robot do things around a desk. It took a couple tests, but I managed to find it out. It didn't really take that long.
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 Empowered Learner because everything I did, I thought of it myself. I didn't take it from someone else.
A challenge I overcame on this project was speed and where the robot lands. I was able to do it by running lots of tests. I ran about five tests.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the robots I used. The reason why I would change it is because I could have done so much more. I could have used different robots and different coding.
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 Mechanical Engineering.
Day one: I roamed around with a robot with the iPad.
Day two: I did a two by three rectangle with the sphero mini.
Day three: I went around a table with the sphero mini.
Day four: I went around a table with the sphero bolt.
