Activity for Oct 7: Scratch Sensor Boards

For this week's activity, you were asked to create a personally-meaningful tangible interface with a Scratch Sensor Board.

For help setting up and experimenting with the board, check out the Pico Board site, which includes a Getting Started Guide. As part of the setup process, you'll need to install a driver.

To document your Scratch Board project, we'd like you to create an additional Scratch project that includes photos of your Scratch Board project -- and your process of creating it.

Please upload both of your Scratch projects (the Scratch Board project and the documentation project) to the Scratch website. Please include links to both of the projects as a comment.

If you'd like to see examples from last year, check out Amon's project page.

In class, we'll be sharing our experiences with the activity. How did these experiences (and your experiences with the WeDo) shape your understandings of the connection between the physical and the virtual?

Amos and I worked on creating a Virtual Tree. Use the sensor board to take care of your very own tree!

Danny and Marie created an interactive game where kids (or adults) could learn how to play the piano and recognize pitches and note values on the musical staff.
