Objective: I can...

- - - Use a digital resource to organize the details of our board game
    - Create a logo for our game. (optional)

Directions: By the end of class we will use Flipgrid to explain what organizational tool we will use to showcase the details of our game development. (Examples: Keynote, Google Slides, etc.) See below in the "Main point of this project..." to get a clear understanding of what exactly needs to be organized.

Materials Needed for today:

Project Ideas, Design, & Plan

Main point of this project...

Students should work in pairs to create an original board game project in which micro:bit is a central feature, and the rules of their board game should use Conditionals (If, then, else).

Students will need to work together to come up with:

- A set of written rules (how to play)
- A game board
- A program for the micro:bit
- 2-3 input/output devices
- Photo documentation of the different game pieces, cards, or other components of the game with the micro:bit included
  - - screenshots of your micro:bit code
    - Each photo must have a caption that describes what the photo is documenting.

Reflection: A text entry describing your team’s game-making process and each teammate’s part in the creation of the game from brainstorming ideas, through construction, programming, and beta testing.

The micro:bit needs to work in conjunction with the game board and/or game pieces and should be a central feature of the game. Ideally, it should be more than a simple substitute for a six-sided die.

Your micro:bit could:

Simulate the results of a battle between two pieces
Randomly point in a different direction of travel
Generate a result based on its current incline
Point randomly at players and stop them
Randomly display a letter and a number for a coordinate on a gameboard
Display a dynamic score
… let your imaginations run wild!

Ideally, at this point of our course students should be writing their own versions of micro:bit programs to do something original.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER! All work done each day should be divided between EVERYONE in the group. One person should not be doing all the work and not all students should be working on the exact same thing together.
