Final Project Ideas for Unit 6a?

[jwilson25]

I am about to complete unit 6a (circuit playground) and am not satisfied with lesson 15. It is a final project, but it does not include the use of accelerometer, music, or functions. In fact, the rubric for the coding is pretty simple.
Does anyone have a design for a more comprehensive final project for this unit?

Thanks,

John

Hi @jwilson25 ,

I worked in a school that taught Design Thinking as a way to solve problems. So, I implemented a “Technology Innovation” challenge to the students as a project for the Circuit Board. The hardest part for the students was finding a problem to solve with the board. Here are some of the ideas they came up with:

• * A light up fan to keep you cool
• * A hand raising device for a student we had who joined class on an ipad and had very limited mobility. The device buzzed loudly and flashed lights so the teacher could hear when the student’s hand was raised.
• * A mood changing teddy bear to comfort anyone:)
• * Here is the rubric for this challenge. It isn’t much so not sure if it is what you are looking for.
• I think * these were the slides to help the students walk through the Design Thinking part.

Hope that helps or at least sparks some ideas for a Circuit Board project.
