Sphero Mini Golf by Aubrey

We are working on how our projects accommodate people with disabilities. For example, we created Sphero mini golf. It accommodates people who may have hearing loss by relying on visuals to tell the player if they got a hole in one. We carefully placed flags in front of each hole to put your attention on the location of the hole. We are most proud of the fact that it is a fun game that does not require the player to walk around. They can stay in one spot and control the Sphero. This helps people who have limited mobility because they can play whether they are in a wheelchair or not. You should come try Sphero mini golf. It is a very fun game!

Lego Claw Machine by Devin

We are making a claw machine out of Legos. It is a hard to have the right pieces at the right time. It is easy to use your imagination and  create prizes. We are learning to cooperate with each other. We are doing a great job. 

Lego Paradise by Aaron, Devin, and Drew

My group is working on a Lego Claw machine. The part where we have to cut the cardboard is pretty hard for us. Some thing easy to do is making the prizes. My group is leaning to do Lego robotics. We are making a claw machine with the robotics.

Presentation Day, Round One!

We learned A LOT working on our first round of technology projects! We each received a rubric so we would know the expectations. These were harder to meet than we expected but we now know our areas of growth. We designed our robots first, built them, and then learned to program them. It was like learning an entirely new language. Most importantly, it was fun! We discovered how to improve our communication skills by working together in a group. We compromised quite often and learned how to be better listeners. We also learned how to manage our time since we knew our presentation date from the beginning. We had to pace ourselves. We are proud to share our work. We hope you enjoy our projects:
