Hello! I’m inexperienced in blogging and this sort of social media, so I apologize if I make mistakes.
My goal for the 20% project is to create a simple video game to help teach young children math. I will complete the project on my own, but I will enlist the help of my mentor and advice from friends who have experience in this area. As I work on this project, I will learn the basics of coding, game development, and product design.
I believe this project is worthwhile because it will be helpful to young children learning math. Games are interactive, and I believe this provides a better learning experience by promoting attentiveness.
My basic plan and timeline for finishing this project is as follows:
During the first week: Learn the basics of developing games, such as basic coding, game design, and how to use the game-creation software to its fullest.
Over the next four weeks: Create and test the game. I predict this will take the longest, so I gave it the largest time frame.
In the last week: Use feedback to modify and improve the game, and search for issues within the game.
To complete the project, I will need a computer and game-creation software, both of which I currently have. Therefore, there are no predicted monetary expenses for this project.
I’m looking forward to working on this project and seeing everybody else’s!
Dylan, you have warmed the cockles of my heart! What a fantastic project for you to do! Then, next year, could you teach me to do this so "we" can teach next year's class? That would be fantastic! So, who is your mentor? Me? Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteMy mentor will be my mom, who will help me with scheduling and advice for the design of the game.
DeleteDylan this is so fantastic. I cannot wait to see what you accomplish. What is the target age range for your users?
ReplyDeleteI am not 100% decided, but likely in the range of 7-9 years old.
DeleteCool idea! What math levels will your video game be encompassing?
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea! I think that today math can have a tendency to be viewed as something boring and monotonous, but if it is taught in a fun and enjoyable way, those ideas of it disappear and it is suddenly something rewarding and interesting. I am excited to see how this project turns out.
ReplyDeleteI think that creating a game for students or kids involving math is a great game especially if the user does not know about their times tables
