DTE

In  DTE we have been doing a sphero project were we get given a sphero, and told, go make something. Me and my group decided to make a race track, and have the spheros race around that. That has not gone well. 

We started with 'research' and wasted a couple of periods until I got sick of not being told what to do, and decided to actually get some work done, so I started to make a track. Braydon then started with the coding. After a while we realized that something was wrong. Every time we ran the code, even without changing it, the outcome would change. Under turn the corner, then the next time over turn. So we spent the next three and a half weeks trying to fix the coding (We still haven't sorting that out) Mr Carter then told us we had to redo the track because it looked like, and I quote "like some my drunk uncle would make." So we re-did the track, making some changes, most noticeably the corners. We used to have rounded corners, but we decide that sharp 90o would be better. We then took it to the art space to paint it. We took the next three days to paint it. 

Evidence/pictures of our work will come soon

Personal thoughts

I have not enjoyed it all that much.  Things not going right, people not doing as they are told (*CoughcoughboysCoughcough*) Sorry had to clear my throat. I will amit, it had merit, it was a good(ish) idea, and had it worked, it would have been quite cool. We just didn't execute it well.

DTE Recap

In DTE so far in this term, we have been do intro stuff, This is what we have done.

The first couple of lessons we made a website to display our work.
We then looked at how computers work



We also made a design process poster thing. This was easyish to do. Nothing much to say here

Then we made Infographics on ergonomics, I didn't finish that, so there is no picture (I literally only have a title and a chair on it. everything else came and went). Why I didn't finish, I don't really know, but it is not from lack of trying, I think I was just very confused and didn't know what to put. I'm not 100% sure, I just think that day just wasn't my day.

Somewhere in there, we also went on Code.org, and/or Tinkercad and played around on that.

I have kinda enjoyed what we have been doing. I would prefer more coding but I know we have to do the intro stuff first. Watch me in a couple of weeks be going "There is to much coding!" But I mean, this is a coding course sooo, that is to be expected.
