For the last few weeks in Digital Technology, we have been working on a project which included coding with spheros. The main project that we were given was to use the Sphero to code an activity to learn something new. We first formed into groups, of three, I was in a group with Ranit and Eugene. We went on the Sphero website and saw some activities which would give us some ideas. As we were looking, we saw a project which was about Mars Mission and a few activities relating to that.
We created a sphero code on the sphero website. I've screenshot of what code I have done so far.
Our map is based on the Curiosity rover and here is the map which we have traced on.

Personal Reflection
I learnt more information about Mars such as the Gale Crater in which the Curiosity rover landed - precisely, Aeolis Palus. When we were doing our research on the Curiosity rover, I learnt all of the things that I researched.
The rover was landed on a place named Bradbury landing - On 22nd August 2012, on what would have been his 92nd birthday, NASA named the site for the author Ray Bradbury, who had died on 5th June 2012.
What I didn't like about the project was that we couldn't complete the rover made from the EPro8 kit. That's the only thing which I did not like about the project.
