These Google Chromebooks will enable a group of highly engaged and motivated middle school students to engage in real engineering experiences. The students will utilize the computers as they learn to code video games. Students will work individually or in pairs to create video games modeled after a Hero's Journey. The game will follow a Hero's Journey story arc of the students own design and will incorporate three levels of game play. Each level of game play will feature a different type of game play. For example, the first level of game play might involve successfully traversing a maze, the second level might involve successfully dodging objects, and a third level of a game might involve successfully jumping onto moving platforms. Students will feature their games in a video game expo in which they showcase their games to friends, family, and members of the community. Additionally, students will use the computers to code robots during an afterschool Girls Who Code program. These experiences will enable students to engage in real engineering experiences and open doors to future career options.
