Intro to Arduino using Codecraft

Projects

New activity brainstorming

- It's your turn to create challenging Arduino activities to do individually, in groups, or as the entire class. We will base our projects on the exercises we have already completed in this class.
- Review "Rules of Brainstorming: A Manager's Guide to Producing Great Ideas"
- Discussion: What are some rules of brainstorming?
- Prompt for your project ideas:
  Empathy - Consider projects that are designed for someone you care about; a project that helps, entertains, educates, informs, amuses ...
  - 1. - Watch: "Colorado students create "game-changing" robotic prosthetics for student born without hands" (CBS News, April 2023)
      - "CSU engineering students design devices so man without arms can 'live like everyone else'" (Fort Collins Coloradoan, April 2023)

- Open this shared Padlet and follow the instructions to add your project ideas.
  The template is:

Project Description

Open Project template (Google Drawing) and make a copy (File ... Make a Copy). (You'll need a gmail account to do this.)
Change the document title to the name of your project
Complete the template with your team (You can all edit at the same time.)
Identify one or more experiments that need to be done to determine if the Arduino and other parts we have can be used to implement the project
Review your progress with everyone at the end of today's class

Project Experiments(s)

With your team, determine how to do the experiment(s) needed
If you conclude that something can't be implemented, re-think your project, update the project template

Project Design

Discuss what tasks/activities need to be done to implement your project;
Think about doing simple things - we only have a few hours to do all this!
Assigned tasks/activities with people on your team
Work on designing the task/activity
Ask for help if needed!

Project Build

Implement the tasks/activities you have identified for your project
Ask for help if needed!

Project Demonstrations

Demonstrate your project to the class.
