Cadre Camp Reflection 3

Yesterday we had an overview of the action research section of our program, as well as what we needed to set up for the rest of the year. We were given options of different bog websites we could use, divided tasks such as social planner, and downloaded video software to our computers. We worked on the lego project as a whole, and Brian taught Channel and I how to edit videos into a movie. The lego project took most of our time and almost worked all the way through a few times!

I was extremely tired when every time we did a test run and made adjustments to the robot. My mind was exhausted from the entire week and got a little frustrated as well as delirious. I noticed that I would get extremely tired and then when the clock struck 9, I would be wide awake. When in the group circle that happened everyday after camp I became very fidgety if someone was talking more than what I thought was the appropriate amount of time.

Fidgeting around was due to the lack of interest that came over me after being in the same room for hours with unsuccessful robot test runs. My brain was so tired from being extremely frustrated that the lego man would only sometimes work, and fall down the wrong side of the shoot more of the time. I needed to do something active to take my mind off of the failed attempts, which is why I would be wide awake around nine. My mind was tired, but my body was restless.
