Sparking Knowledge Project
In groups of four, we were to develop and manufacture an educational game board. We had to be experts in both electrical circuitry and designing interactive games.
Final Game Board: Jackpot!
Requirements
- Incorporates at least three electrical components (examples include, but are not limited to, batteries, series/parallel circuits with LEDs, buzzers, motors—but not including wiring)
- For game boards and toys, includes detailed rules/instructions for the game as well as sets of quiz questions
- For interactive demos, each team member must be prepared to lead the demonstration and the demonstration must include a handout or brochure explaining the concepts.
