Scratch KODU Option

Prerequisites: Students should already be familiar with the 5 steps of the Design Process (Ask, Imagine, Plan & Build, Test & Improve, Share). 

The Mission - today’s project challenge.

• Scratch Option (Interactive Simulator): Create a choices-based simulation or mini-game where a user navigates a problem (e.g., landing a rocket or custom-building a robot keychain) by choosing variables and adjusting choices when failure occurs.

• Kodu Option (Terrain Rescue Mission): Design a 3D landscape with physical obstacles where a character must navigate to a goal. Students must continuously refine the character's rules to overcome environmental traps.

Constraints:

• The project must explicitly represent at least 3 core steps of the Design Process within gameplay (Ask/Imagine choices, Build logic, Test/Iterate loops).

• Students must complete an Iteration Log documenting at least two failures and how they fixed them.
