This is about my robot that I helped build in Mr. Hazlet’s Robotics class.
I feel like this assignment tested my Interpersonal Skills. I was assigned some partners, and after working with my team, we were able to finish ours first. I’m proud that we were able to finish this project so efficiently. I feel that this helped me develop my 21st century skills by allowing me to work with a capable team. The most difficult thing about this project was having to double back in the instructions when we missed something, having to add more stuff to stabilize it and to hold things, and fixing it when it randomly broke. If I had to change something, I would make it sturdier beforehand so as to not double back as much. Well I think I could apply this to future learning by knowing which piece is which, and how to build another robot. |
