8P4-Spheros

I experimented with two different types of spheros to use in knocking down bowling pins and to go up a ramp. First I created a ramp out of cardboard, popsicle sticks, and duct tape. I then used the sphero sprk+ to go up the ramp. I decided it would be easiest to control it myself rather than coding it. Eventually I got it up. Then I wanted to test something else out. I decided to uses mini, rubber bowling pins in the class that was available to me. I uses the sphero mini and decided to code it this time.

During this project I learned how to be patient and revise and fix my project over and over again. I also learned how to use spheros and program them.

The standards that this project is tied to was is the fact that I was a empowered learner by asking classmates friend how to use the spheros. I was also a knowledge constructor by constructing my own ramp from scratch. I was also a innovative designer by designing mt ramp and constructing and coming up with everything on my own.

A challenge I overcame was not giving up no matter how much I wanted to. I kept on trying and revising my project to make it better.

Something I would do differently would be to build an obstacle course along with the ramp and bowling pins to challenge myself more and make it more interesting.

A career that could be connected to this would be programming, coding, and engineering things. A CTE connection could be engineering design, computer programming.
