My Movie 16.movThis is a video of all the things I did.
This is the coding for the individual blinking lights.
Daily Log
Day 1: I started my list of 10, did my planning questions and researched a little about the project.
Day 2: I learned about the BrainPad and started figuring out how it works.
Day 3: I read about the BrainPad to know how to get it to reset and connect to the computer.
Day 4: I figured out how to attach the extra pieces to the BrainPad.
Day 5: I coded the lights to be in the colors of the rainbow.
Day 6: I did my reflection.
This is the coding for the first thing I did.
Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I am working by myself.
What materials will you need for your project?
I will need my computer, my iPad, a BrainPad and my brain.
What is your plan to create in this project?
I think I am going to create and figure out how to put lights on using the extensions.
What unique qualities will your project have?
These lights will be in different patterns and possibly rainbow.
This is the coding for the rainbow lights!
Challenge I Overcame
A challenge I overcame was I couldn't get the BrainPad to connect to the computer. I needed a specific message to pop up on the screen. I figured out that once you erase the entire BrainPad by going to a specific website, it allows the BrainPad to attach to the computer. That made it so I could put the file of my project onto the BrainPad
Standards The Project Tied To
The standards my project tied to are the empowered learner and the computational thinker. I was an empowered learner because I kept working on my project even when I had no idea how to connect my BrainPad to the computer. I was a computational thinker because I coded and figured out how to use the BrainPad.
Reflection
Description Of Creation
I used the BrainPad to make the light turn on from the extension things that connected to the BrainPad. I coded the BrainPad so it could make the lights turn on. I also, created a small tutorial on how to connect the BrainPad to the computer.
CTE And Career Connection
The CTE that this ties to is computer programming. This is because I coded the BrainPad so it worked. This project's career connection is a person who works in the field of computer science and computer programming.
What I Learned
I learned that to connect the BrainPad to the computer, you have to completely erase the contents off of the BrainPad. You do this by going to a website. I also learned how to get the coding that I made onto the BrainPad by downloading it and inserting it in files on your computer.
Something I Would Do Differently
Something I would do differently is I would do more difficult things involving the BrainPad instead of using most of the project's time on figuring out how to use it. Figuring out how to use it is very important for the process of the project but having more time to experiment with other stuff would also be fun. I wish I had tried to use some of the buttons that were extensions for the BrainPad.
