Reflect
Wrap Up Reflection
Now that you have completed in the Up and Over competition, it is time to reflect on everything you have learned by completing a self-reflection. Start a new page in your engineering notebook to begin your reflection.
Rate yourself as a novice, apprentice, or expert on each of the following concepts in your engineering notebook. Provide a brief explanation for why you gave yourself that rating for each concept:
- Using the engineering design process to develop a game strategy
- Communicating effectively with your team to improve your performance in the competition
- Documenting the iterative process in your engineering notebook
Use this table to help you determine which category you fall under.
| Expert | I feel that I fully understood the concept and could teach this to someone else. |
| Apprentice | I feel that I understood the concept enough to compete in the competition. |
| Novice | I feel that I did not understand the concept and do not know how to complete the competition. |
What is Next?
Throughout this Unit, you designed a robot and practiced your driver skills to compete in Up and Over, as you learned about:
- Designing and building an effective claw to open and close to effectively move cubes
- Designing and building an effective arm to raise and lower cubes to move them over the barrier
- How to use motor groups in a project to make your robot more effective in the competition
In this next Lesson, you will learn about how all of these concepts and skills are used in different careers!
