Volunteering: Hour of Code

Posted on by Hope E. Moore

Hour of Code was fun! Families made levels in Bloxels, played with Dash robots, and made games with Scratch.

The laminated worksheets were cool – I’m stealing the idea to use a loop to make what looks like a 3D object.

Volunteering: Fun at Athens Makers

Had a fun time suggesting dangerous ideas to Maddie at Athens Makers. Here, she’s making an evil scientist face as she tests a snap circuits project with added heavy paper blades to the fan.

 

After suggesting things like adding heavy paper blades and making the device higher, I tried to get her to experiment with alarms and lights and she reminded me of myself because she just went for it instead of looking up and following directions. She was able to get the light going, but not the alarm, and went back to having fun with the dangerous flying objects.

I played with Snap Circuits for the first time and was able to make a sound activated light and sound. Nicholas (Maddie’s brother) came by and tried to use an alarm on another SC setup to trigger the one I had.

Volunteering: Ideas from Athens Makers

I was talking with Kathy at Athens Makers and now I want to make a time travel game based on the same themes as my TESLA Series where it starts as a closed narrative, hints toward a possibility of multiple narratives, turns into a game with different paths that seem completely different, but they all find a way back to ONE ending.

The TESLA series deals with whether a person can change the past/future and if it even matters.
