Planning Questions

Are you working by yourself or in a team?

I will be working in a team of two.

What materials will you need for your project?

I will need the four robots and an iPad

What is your plan to create in this project?

I will do the four challenges and then I will make my original project by myself

What unique qualities will your project have?

I will race the Sphero Mini and the Dash Robot to see which one is faster.

Challenges

Bolt: Code a party bomb, Movement, a countdown, then color changing celebration (Make it jump in the air).
Dash: Build off of it with Legos then code it to throw the tire, it must start on the blue line and throw it before it crosses the next blue line
Sphero Mini: How many different regular shapes can you code it to drive
iRobot: Program it to draw a 3 or 4-letter word.

Day 1

I explored other projects and learned how to code

Day 2

I worked on programming my sphero mini to make a square.

Day 3

I worked on programming my sphero mini to make a rectangle, I did a list of ten good ideas, and answered my planning questions.

Day 4

I worked on making a triangle and edited the videos in iMovie.

Day 5

I coded a party bomb and made bolt, jump.

Day 6

I added pictured to my project and worked on making my iMovie edits for the party bomb.

Day 7

I started working on my iRobot and got 2 out of the 3 letters done.

Day 8

I finished my iRobot and made the word VAN.

Day 9

I figured out how the dash robot works.

Day 10

I worked on making my Dash robot throw a tire.

Day 11

I made my Dash throw a tire and recorded the video. I also made my iMovie edits on my dash video.

Day 12

I worked on making my race with the Sphero Mini and the Dash robot.

Day 13

I worked more on making the code for the race.

Day 14

I recorded the video of the race and did my iMovie edits. Then I worked on my sentence starters.

Sphero Mini and Dash Robot Race

Using Sphero Edu, Blockly, iRobot Coding, iMovie, Dash, Sphero Mini, Sphero Bolt, iRobot, and Dash I completed the four challenges and my own original robot programming idea. I did these challenges and my own original one because I wanted to learn how to program robots. I also wanted to know if the Sphero Mini or the Dash robots was faster.
During this process, I learned how to code the Dash robot. Another thing I learned is how to code the Sphero Mini and the Sphero Bolt robot. Finally, I learned how to code the iRobot and how to make it draw letters.
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 little knowledge of how to code the robots when I first started. I used past students codes to help me out and toward the end, I knew how to code all the robots.
A challenge I overcame on this project was learning how to make the sphero bolt jump in the air. I was able to do it by looking at past classmates projects. I modified their code to fit my project.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the Dash robot tire challenge. I would make it throw further. The reason why I would change it is because I didn't throw to tire very far.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects to the Computer Programming CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in Web development, Computer systems engineering, Database administration, and Computer programming.
