My Friend Meri I will be working on this project by
The Forest is my Home myself.
Fairies and Stars To create this project, I will need
Wishing on Fireflies CoSpaces and a Merge Cube.
Lullabies and Dreams My plan to create this project is to
In the Strawberry Fields use one or more of my basic
Lessons from the Past children's story ideas and input
Lost Tower Covered in Ivy 6 scenes of them into a Merge
Silver Linings and Promises Hidden by Clouds Cube using CoSpaces.
Falling Cherry Blossom Leaves The unique qualities my project will
have will be that it will have my
original story idea coded into a
Merge Cube.
Day 1. I created my websites new page and made my List of 10, and Planning Questions.
Day 2. I created my scene plan Google Doc and started creating the first scene on the Merge Cube.
Day 3. I finished the first side of the Merge Cube. I created the second side on my Merge Cube and started on the third side.
Day 4. I finished creating the third side of my Merge Cube and started on the fourth side.
Day 5. I finished most of my Merge Cube. All that's left now is a few details and rotating it.
Day 6. I finished the finer details on my merge cube. I put my Merge Cube design on a Merge Cube. I created my video.
Day 7. I uploaded my video and put it on my website. I then took pictures of each side of my Merge Cube and put them on my website.
Day 8. I worked on my reflection.
Day 9. I reviewed my reflection to make sure it was up to standard.
Using CoSpaces and a Merge Cube, I created a Merge Cube representation of a simple children's story that I wrote. I created this because I thought a children's story would be the thing I could come up with in just one day. I chose the specific idea for the children's story I would use based on Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki type stories that I grew up with.
During this process, I learned how to use CoSpaces to create an AR world. I also learned how to use a Merge Cube through a camera. Another thing I learned in this project was how to animate characters in CoSpaces.
My project ties to Empowered Learner because I was able to set a goal for how much I wanted to get done on my project each day such as how many sides I wanted to get done and how far on each side I wanted to get done. My project also ties to Knowledge Constructor because I already knew how to code using block code from the micro:bit project but in this project I really learned how those commands would connect to the things I am animating. My project ties to Innovative Designer as well because I was able to come up with an original story and create it on a Merge Cube using CoSpaces.
A challenge I overcame in this project was IMovie not allowing me to upload my video to my Google Drive. I needed to overcome this challenge because I need the video showing off my project otherwise the viewer of my project would only have a vague idea of the story I made. I overcame this challenge by relogging into Google Drive.
Given a chance to do this project again I would change my base story and would have made it more complex. There was not enough time at the end of my project to completely recreate it but there was a lot of extra time. My main story was pretty basic and I feel as though I should have been a bit more ambitious.
My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hasting High School. It connects to it in that I was able to come up with a story idea and create a virtual representation of that. My project connects to careers in Digital and Immersive Training Intern, and Augmented and Virtual Reality Engineer.
