STEAM Design Challenge:
GAME ON
THE PROBLEM
Your school is trying to raise money for a good cause and needs to create entertaining ways to raise money from people in the community. It is organising a festival day with raffles prizes and an arcade. The only problem is we don’t have any games for the arcade. Buying games would use up money that would be used to help our cause so you have been asked to design and create some games.
Be inspired by “Caines arcade’ to create your own arcade-style games and see how many players you can get! Don’t you wish you had an arcade in your school? Why not design one?
YOUR GOAL
Use Makedo resources and recycled materials to create many arcade-style games
for a school event.
YOUR ROLE
You are a game designer and arcade owner.
YOUR AUDIENCE
People coming to your school event looking to play entertaining games and
win prizes.
THE SCENARIO
A School festival or event to raise money for a good cause.
THE PRODUCT
The product will be a functioning set of arcade games.
