Terran Dominion

From Sprite Wars

Age: 10-14Number of leaders/volunteers: 2Number of sedutnts: 15-20 (We have done this activity a few times) This activity is generally a hit. When you tell the participants that they are going to be making their own video game they get very excited. We had some sedutnts do some incredible things that seemed tricky to program, even to us. Usually there are alot of questions about basic things that can be remedied by doing a ScratchTM introduction first, having them learn how to do simple tasks such as when I press key x having sprite do such and such an action. Also, it is very good if you have multiple leaders because we have found that some problems take longer to solve than others and if you're with a student for five minutes and one is stuck, it can get quite frustrating for the waiting student.
