The Challenge | Build a Planet
Your challenge is to create a game that will allow players to customize the characteristics of a star and design planets that could reasonably exist in that star system. Ensure that this game provides an educational experience for players!
Color your Planet
In "Color your Planet", you can prototype new planets and satellites by combining electronic and craft items like a puzzle game. Items are based on the colors and characteristics of planets in the solar system. All you need to develop is curiosity.
"Color your Planet"
- Make a new family of planets in the solar system
- Think about the names and features of the new planet
- Let's exhibit!!!
HOW to make a new planet?
- Mix of electronic and paper craft
- Use a “physical matrix” based on NASA planetary color and phenomenon data. Each is provided as LED color or Microbit function.
- Once the electronic work is done, make the planetary exterior.
