Goals of the brainstorm

  • Decide on a use case
  • Brainstorming method

Methods we will use:

  • Idea dump - gather all the ideas we already have in a document
  • Inspiration - Get some inspiration from previous projects
  • Brain writing - Further develop the ideas we have and maybe come up with new ones

🌱 Brainstorm pre-work

  • Lecture 1 and 2
  • Get familiar with the technologies at hand

Project Summary

Summary of results

What?

We basically want to do a version of Scratch that teaches code to children, but unlike Scratch works with a real car which performs the actions that the child “programmed” in an app.

How?

  • We have a few options on how to implement this idea:
  • Different game modes depending on difficulty
  • Buttons that are written like code that you can just press
  • Code blocks that you can put together and can be executed at the same time
  • Fill in blank spaces in code
  • Store different profiles (maybe with completion points, command history, favourite programmes, ..)
  • Provide some challenges (like specific actions to do with code, code with blank spaces, change code to do something different, etc)
  • Adding some sound
  • Using the sensors by making sure no obstacles are hit
  • Using the emulator to test the code or to use the app even if the car is not available
  • Leaderboard or something to add some competition

Why?

To teach children to code in a really fun and interactive way.
