Reflection:
For this project we worked on coding, electricity and programming. Materials that we used were bread board circuits, wires, resistors, etc. Doing the sparkfun was my favorite part because we were able to build a variety of small circuits and learn to program easier. There were some challenges that we faced such as computers not working and having to find the reason why the board isn't compiling. It was a very challenging unit but I think that I have gained more knowledge of bread board circuit and coding. For me and Julia we had to get a lot of help from Ms. Havel because our computers kept not working and we went through 3 computers for this project. When it came to presenting our robot art, having a song and lights go at the same time, we were struggling on getting our song to work and we didn't know how to program the lights at the same time. I wasn't going to be here for those periods so Julia had to try and set it up herself. When I got to school I helped Julia and I got the song to work but I couldn't get the lights too. Because we had struggled so much, Ms. Havel only graded us on our song and let the LED lighting part slide.
