Project description -    This Candy Machine project was done entirely in TinkerCAD and MicroBit. Our job was to create Candy Dispenser that dispensed around 5-10 Skittles at a time. Other requirements were that it must have a rotating mechanism powered by a servo motor and the dispenser should not be bigger than 7” x 7” x 5”. 

Procedure -   To start, I sketched a rough model of our project  on the tables with an Expo marker. Then, Christiana started making the "walls" of our project. As Christiana worked on that, Lealah worked on the code for our Microbit, and I worked on the "spinner". After the "walls" of our design was printed, Lealah took it home and painted it. The next day, we printed the "spinner" and worked on our portfolios. Unfortunately, our "spinner" wasn't the correct measurements, so the next day, we re-printed some stuf. Finally, we put everything together and submitted our portfolios.

Soul Reflections:

• S - Strength - One of my strengths was that we painted it to look aesthetically pleasing and our product worked.

• O - Opportunity - If I had to do this again, I would make a tray that fir our design better and I would print a stand for the "spinner."

• U - Understand - Some things I learned from this were to make sure to read all the instructions and requirements so I don't forget anything. Also, I learned to spend less time on mkaing it pretty and to spend more time on actual requirments.

• L - Limitation - I don't think I had any limitations, but obviously more time would have been nice.
