Tomorrow morning starts the first day of Kodu & MakeyMakey Technology Camp. It will run for about 50 minutes each morning before school for a week. Students had to complete an application and return it with parent signature to be one of the 20 students accepted to attend this event. Hall passes were handed out on Friday morning and now all that is left is to organize all the
I've done Kodu before and students like the 3D graphics the program offers much more over the flat graphics of Scratch. What is different about this time is that I am giving over control. Instead of dictating what kind of game they are creating and walking them through the steps in creating the game, I am letting them design and create their own game and their own controllers with the help of MakeyMakey. I've used the MakeyMakey kits with students once before with an enrichment activity over circuits (more on that later).
I am starting with the slide show below to go over key parts of video game design.
I have also put together a graphic organizer for the students to plan out their games. I am going to have them choose to complete 3 tutorials from either the Kodu YouTube Channel or ones that are built into the game.
We shall see how that goes!
