Ohms Law - states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the current across the two points
Circuit - requires three things: must be a loop, made out of conductive material, and connect the positive and negative sides of a power source together
Resistance (Ω) - measure of how much current is slowed/ how many obstacles(for the current) are present
Current (I) - flow of electricity through a circuit
Voltage (V) - potential energy drop across a component of a circuit
Power (P) - rate at which electrical energy is transferred by a circuit

Our Project
For this project we were given the task to create a robot art show. First, we were given a packet about electricity with various tasks that we were supposed to set up. Next, we were given another packet but this time it was for Arduino and on a computer. After we finished that we moved on to the actual project. Me and my partner decided to do a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" type game, but after many attempts and getting help from various people it did not work. The buttons would not respond to the board so we ad to come up with a new idea. We ended up making a bad joke maker instead.

Reflection
This was the most difficult challenge yet. I found it very tedious and stressful all at once, which made it rather hard for me to focus on. Staying on task was definitely something I struggled with on this project. Since electricity is not one of my strong points, I often found myself remaining off task and finding it hard to focus. Another thing that didn't go to well for our group was our outlook on the project. The project was very frustrating for me and I think that this project was especially hard for me to stay positive. Something me and my partner did do well was finding other solutions. When our first idea failed, we managed to come up with a different idea and work quickly to complete it. We also communicated rather well. We both contributed ideas and at certain points were helping each other set up circuits and get around issues. Overall, our project turned out well but it was very challenging.
