The month long challenge will be: using a 16x32 LED board, program a face for a LED Jack-O-Lantern. Students will be able to program this with either their Lenovo or a Raspberry Pi. Students will also carve out a pumpkin, and then place their LED board into the pumpkin and light it up.
October 5th - 9th: rubber band powered Lego car. Students will only use Legos and rubber bands to make their creations go! The car that goes the farthest wins the challenge.
October 12th - 16th: Makey Makey challenge. The first group of students to make the Makey Makey keyboard out of organic materials wins the challenge.
October 19th - 23rd: 3D print a Jack-O-Lantern. The 3D printed pumpkin must have a face! The coolest and most creative design wins! Prints are limited to 4in x 4in x 4in.
October 26th - 30th: candy corn catapult challenge! Using only popsicle sticks, plastic spoons, and rubber bands, the students who can launch the candy corn the farthest wins the challenge!
I am really looking forward to the upcoming month! I think the challenges will really bring out some fantastic creativity in the kids. And, to help incentivize this for the students, the winners of the challenges will earn an off-campus lunch at Cici's Pizza!
