SciGirls II Day 7 - FCIM and wFSU

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 game that they could play in three separate designs :-) We split into three separate groups audio, components, and graphics. In graphics we had our pictures taken and they were photo-shopped in the game! In audio we recorded our own voices which were tied to our characters in the game. In components we learned about programming and setting up a hard copy of the game. After the wonderful employees at FCIM put together all our different parts, we played our game!! Everyone can enjoy playing this game as long as you have access to the internet!

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 and television presented different challenges for us but we enjoyed both parts! On tomorrow's agenda: Atkins Engineering and Chaos Tower building challenge!
