Day 1 INSPIRED campers for the week long challenge of using physical computing to design game prototypes.
We introduced circuits and game design using a Makey Makey circuit board.
Day 2 - 3 used skillbuilder sprints to CREATE CONFIDENCE with circuits, switches, Cuttle.xyz, laser cutting, micro:bit circuit boards, coding, and the game design.
Day 3-5 was filled with Meaningful Making time as the campers used resources (materials, mentors, maker tools,) and thier new skills to create a game prototype to pitch to 'guest investors'
