The Plan
Design Challenge (2 days): Use MakeyMakey to design a controller for T-Rex Runner that incorporates exercise.
Brainstorm (1 day):
Together as a large group
Individually (we didn't do this step this year, but I would add next time):
Plan (1 day):
Prototype (3-4 days):
Demo Party!
Brainstorm (1 day):
Together as a large group
- List of all the exercises we can think of and write them on a large poster board paper
- How do we know these are exercises? Define what is exercise.
- How do you know when you are getting better at an exercise?
- What kind of things are helpful to keep track of when exercising?
- Watch project inspiration videos for ideas
Individually (we didn't do this step this year, but I would add next time):
- Come up with an exercise idea that incorporates MakeyMakey & pitch
- Individually or in teams of two pick an idea to work on
Plan (1 day):
- Complete a game plan to gamify your exercise with Makey Makey and Scratch
- Once game plan is reviewed, then start on Scratch components
Prototype (3-4 days):
- Gather materials for prototyping: cardbard, aluminum tape, bubble wrap, duct tape, tin foil
- Share MakeyMakey examples as needed, eg, creating a pressure sensor
- Share Scratch examples as needed, eg. Shooting & scoring
Demo Party!
