Day 1:
On this day we completed our first project on the Sphero Mini. We programmed it to make a square and then flash colors. On top of this text we have the code used to make the Sphero mini go. And on the right is our video of it.

Day 2:
On day 2 we had started the Dash project. We had observed the range of motion of the head. We realized if we wanted to go the farthest we couldn't rely on the head itself. so we designed a way around that disability.

On this day we finished our Dash project. I am not sure of the exact rules on the length measurement. But we got pretty far. Anyways we reproached this project in a different way. We have a simple design and
Day 4:
On this day we started our dash projects and finished it. Our project was to make a party bomb. Above is the code and under is the project.

On this day we started our iRobot project. We created the word ill with a capital i.

Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I am working in a team of two.
What materials will you need for your project?
I need a computer an iPad, all the robots used in this project include Sphero Bolt, Sphero mini, iRobot root, and Dash.
What is your plan to create in this project?
I want to create tic tac toe
What unique qualities will your project have?
No one else is using circles and crosses in their project.
My Movie 7.movThis is our Bolt Project.
Tic Tac Toe.movThis is are 5th and Final Project.
Day 6:
We worked on our final project. We decided to make tic tac toe on iRobot.
Day 7:
My partner and I fixed our Sphero bolt project. Or known as the party project.
Day 8:
We continued to work on our final project. I have completed over half of the project.

We continued to work on our final project. I am done.
Using a Sphero Mini, Sphero Bolt, Dash, and iRobot Root aniPad for coding and a computer for publishing, I created multiple coded projects performing complex functions on the robots because it helps improve my Computer Programming skill set. This project made me code various projects including a party bomb, various shapes, a moving catapult, and a word using dry erase. All of these projects were coded on an iPad using a variety of apps.
During this process, I learned how to code many different robots. Being more specific I learned hoe to use apps on my provided iPad. This project has shown me that robotics don't have to be done in a lab, they are everywhere and can be performed with just about anything.
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 when starting this project I had very little knowledge on these specific robots. And now that knowledge has expanded into a understanding on how to use them. I have added to my knowledge, or constructed upon it.
A challenge I overcame on this project was during my final 5th project it was quite hard for me to perfect my code so the circles would be in the correct areas. I was able to do it by figuring out how to recalibrate it. Recalibration of the robot was basiclly me pinpointing it to a specif place after every turn. This helped because it would always end up in the same spot I needed it to be.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change my Sphero Mini project we didn't make all the shapes we could have. Well its kinda imposible but we should have put more effort into it. . The reason why I would change it is because its quantity of shapes is lackluster.
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 Robotic Programming, Robotics training, and Robotics Service Engineering. This meaning the project we did in school could shift us into a path of robotics forever.
