Build Creative Soundboard App

1. Review the Creator's Rights Vocabulary

2. Watch the Video on Engineering/Design Process

• Who are engineers?

• What is the first step in the Engineering Process?

• What are other steps?

• Why is it good if their design doesnt work the first time?

• How did you act as an engineer when developing your soundboard app?

In this class, you will go through 4 main steps in the Design Process:

• Discover: You will learn about a topic or problem through research and interviewing others.

• Ideate: Using the insights you have developed, you will brainstorm ideas to test.

• Prototype: You will build a model of your app to test and get feedback on.

• Share: You will present your app and reflect on your experience.

3. Build your App!

• Remember the requirements:

  • 3 or more buttons have different images

  • matching sounds play when the user presses each of the buttons

  • use only Creative Commons-licensed media or your own media
