A Smorgasbord by Will

Today is 4C's last day of technology. Today we are all working on diffrent projects. One group is working on drones that can fly really high and take pictures. Just like what professonals use, not the ones from air hogs and other stuff like that. Another group is working on programming the Dot and Dash robot. Dot is a tiny robot that looks like a dot that you can use to say stuff like " You are my best friend" or " Nerf is awesome" and Dash is a dot with giant wheels that you can also program too to say stuff like for example " I am Dash, what is your name?" or "Sianora is japanesee for Goodbye". Finally, a group is working on a sphero, a tiny robot you can program to run, change color, turn, say stuff, and even spin in circles!!! You could also just play around with it. It is like a Dot but clear. We are sad it's over but we can't wait to do this at home!!!

The Lego Farmhouse by Jayden

We made a farm that has a windmill. There is a two story barn, a tractor to go with it, and farm animals that include bunnies, horses, cows and possibly chickens. The tractor has a pressure sensor that when you touch it, there will be cock-a-doodle-doos and ney sounds. I have learned a lot of different ways to make things with Lego robotics.

Learning with Legos by Micah

Today we are building with Lego robotics. We have built birds, animals, cranes, and more. It is amazing that we get to do the Lego robotics. We had challenges like a difficult time building with the Lego's. The programming was hard too. Also, sometimes agreeing with one another was hard. In all, I would rate this experience a 10 out of 10.     

Presentation Day!

Teamwork in Technology by Joshua

This week in technology we are trying to finish our projects and to present everything.We are all close to being done. Technology has been so fun. We have gotten frustrated and had problems but we solved them. Technology is teaching us to be more independent and to get more familiar with technology. Every day we come in and get out our projects and get started. Only some people have presented. It is really hard to make it work but when it's done it is worth it. All that hard work payed off. Everyone is having fun and even if it doesn't work, it is probably amazing. No matter what you do in technology it is always going to be fun.

Underwater Adventure with LittleBits by Matthew

My design partner and I are working on an advanced high tech Little Bits project, that is an underwater scene. We made sea animals, coral, seaweed, fish, and an underwater blooming flower. We have used LED lights to light up the project! It was fun to make.
