Project based learning is the best way for learners to master knowledge in a meaningful way! In this class the teacher will help guide students through the game design process to create a board game based on learners own interests. This class is ideal for friends or siblings who would like a to work on a project together (each learner should be individually enrolled) or for individuals who are very interested in all aspects of game design. This course is not a lecture course and will be driven by student interest and feedback. Significant work outside of class will be needed to complete the project within 6 weeks, especially if the game is being designed by an individual student rather than a group of students. Week 1 Introductions, students will see some example projects and brainstorm themes for their own designs. Learners will also decide if they want to create a game individually, break the class up into teams, or a combination. Week 2: Learners will choose the layout of their game and outline theme, characters, and plot elements. Week 3: Learners will be introduced to TinkerCad 3D design software and begin creating their game tokens. Week 4: Learners will outline rules for their games and solidify the game board layout. Week 5: Learners will learn about play testing and create a rubric for others to use when evaluating their game. Week 6: Each designer or design team will briefly present their game to the class. Please note: Mrs. Fimbel Does her best not to cancel classes due to low enrollment.
Learning Goals
Students will design a game using the engineering design process.
Students will write and edit rules for their game using the writing process.
Students will have fun creating something of their own.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be allowed to brainstorm their own topics for game creation. The teacher is experienced at focusing ideas in a positive appropriate way.
However, inevitably students may suggest topics during brainstorming that may not always be appropriate. Please discuss with your learner appropriate topics and what to do if someone suggests something they find offensive before the first class.
Supply List
Handouts will be provided. Students should either print them or be able to access and edit them. Students will need supplies such as cardboard, paper, index cards, or access to a printer to create the physical game they design. Exact supplies will vary by learner to fit their own designs.
