Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
team with jj
What materials will you need for your project?
robots
What is your plan to create in this project?
make a robot doing 360s and rolling toward us
What unique qualities will your project have?
it won't be a dash like everyone else picked
day 1: started working on our bots
day 2: we worked on how to make it move and that kind of stuff
day 3: made a video of our robot rolling the coming back
day 4: our robots kept dying so we couldn't really work today
day 5: had to use sphero mini because everyone else took the dashes and regular spheros
day 6: my ipad was almost dead so I couldn't use it to code as much but me and my partner made codes on her ipad
day 7: my ipad was at 1% so i couldn't code on it but me and partner did a little coding today to make sure we got work done
Using sphero and sphero mini, I created different codes for my robots because I had to use two robots and they had different things they could do.
During this process, I learned that if I wanted to use a dash, I had to dash to get it. if I had been quicker I could've used a dash instead of a sphero and sphero mini.
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 creative communicator because I used digital tools like my iPad and website to share my videos of my work.
A challenge I overcame on this project was my iPad kept dying during our process. I was able to do it by charging my iPad while we worked on my friends iPad and we decided we'd record it the day after.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the robot we used. The reason why I would change it is because the spheros were kinda hard to use and it was hard to make them accurate.
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. It connects to this because we used our iPad to make codes and make our robot do stuff
My project connects to careers in software engineer because they code things to move or work on websites.
