What a terrific Tuesday! Today SciGirls 2 went to the Florida Center for Interactive Media (FCIM) and took part in all parts of designing an app! The girls designed a deep sea game :-) We split into three separate groups audio, components, and graphics. In graphics we had our pictures taken and used photoshop to 'shop' them into scuba suits. Our scuba suit pictures were characters in the game! In audio we recorded our own voices which were tied to our characters in the game. In components we learned how to set limits to animations in the game, like only making an octopus move up and down rather than side to side. We also learned about how programmers need to have a deep understanding of physics. After the wonderful employees at FCIM put together all our different parts, we played our game!!
During our deep sea adventure game playing, the SciGirls 2 teachers heard the girls' stomachs growling so we took a lunch break back at the Mag Lab. After fueling our bodies we headed over to WFSU. We were REALLY looking forward to this trip, because we could potentially end up on a real radio station or on camera at the reception this Friday. Before we started filming and recording we examined and learned about the Kirk collection at the WFSU lobby. Next we had the chance to record a short radio spot which will air at a later date and/or be behind the scenes in filming or be on camera! Both radio an tv presented different challenges for us but we enjoyed both parts!
On tomorrow's agenda: Atkins Engineering and Chaos Tower building challenge!
