Physical computing – Class 16-32 will focus on adding a physical component to Scratch. MakeSense! will be used to create something using sensors. Students have many sensors to choose from. Including but not limited to heartbeat, temperature, moisture, distance, electrical resistance, light…….
The final project will be curriculum integrated some initial ideas include science tools, science modeling, math game to teach/learn new concepts, Spanish learning game (dictionary thesaurus, conjugation machine), middle ages tech, health (heart rate, temperature….)Class 1 & 2 – Introductions to MakeSense! and sensors
