Mindlab

This week I learnt how to code, construct, wire, electric engineer and more. What we were supposed to do was make a robot, but it didn't come out as planned. 

I felt challenged because of the amount of technical difficulties we had in the process of making the "Robot". First the Microbit wouldn't download the finishing coding, second one of tires gave up on us so we needed to figure out how to fix it, thirdly the screwdrivers BARELY worked, fourthly we were the only group in the first room without any help so we struggled really bad, fifthly as soon we walked into the room everyone was in, basically everyone was finished. Sixth, our design for the product was trash because we were winging it, seventh we were running out of time so our "product" was just a raft with a flag a fishing rod and no technology with it, and finally, for the eighth difficulty we finished off with a raft and a smacker 2,000. No technology was included and that was the goal.

I can improve this by getting materials from a place other than a second hand shop. Either way, I would've done better if I didn't work with Michael and Kayden (Maybe).


Luckily, I'm not embarrassed.

  1. Hi Cassidy, it is a shame that your group were challenged by difficulties. It is a good test of your resilience to be able to carry on. Maybe next time you could check if you have the needed materials for your project before starting so you could adapt your plan before the build?
