I know that I definitely want to create a math game. I'm thinking I want to create a bunch of mini games including puzzles and the games will focus on various basic math skills such as time, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and integers. I'm not sure if that is taking on too much as this is my very first time even attempting this and I am completely clueless in how to create this app.

Tool: I'd like to make a tool for easy data collection for students. Something they can use on their phone for sure.

Narrative: The first idea I have is to follow the path of food through the body (or just one part of the body).

Puzzle: The first idea for this is some sort of game to teach the parts of the cell.

I'll be brainstorming more, but these are my first thoughts!

Not sure how realistic this would be to make, but I would like to make some kind of "game" to explore gerrymandering.

For instance, there would be a 5x5 grid with red and blue squares in different patterns. Maybe there are more red than blue, maybe there are more blue, maybe there are close to the same amount. Students then are challenged to draw equal sized (but not necessarily shaped) districts.

For a 5x5 grid, the directions would be to divide the 25 squares into 5 districts of 5. Challenges would be:
-make as many "majority red" districts as possible
-make as many "majority blue" districts as possible
-create "fair" borders

Larger grids with more complex red/blue patterns and more districts would up the "skill level". Introducing a third color could be interesting too.

Inspiration

Kathleen:

Within the field of education, there has been an increased interest in developing students' 'emotional intelligence'.

My experiences in teaching both self-contained and inclusion classrooms led me to develop an app focused on group, rather than individual behavioral reflections. Conversations during conflict can produce unique and meaningful relationships and creations.

Framing conflict resolution as a conversation can help break down barriers between 'bully' and 'victim.' Students answer questions regarding mood and can view their partners responses to build understanding. After each question is completed, students can add a piece to their chimera until the creature is fully formed.

Bella: When I walked into DHF on Friday night, I didn't have a team or any idea of what the Hackathon would be like. It wasn't like I was in a completely new environment. I have been a member at DHF since 2013 and I know a lot of the people that work there. After talking with Kathleen, whom I had first met a few months before, I knew I wanted to work with her to make her idea come to life. The idea of both students contributing to reach a common goal was a very versatile concept that I knew could be interpreted and designed any number of ways.

What it does

Two students take turns answering questions where they: -identify their emotions (sad, mad confused, etc...) -choose a solution to their conflict -encourages them to work together to build something fun and overcome their differences

How I built it

Kathleen: I presented the negotiation app idea to Bella, whom I've worked with during Makerettes meetings at DHF. She has experience coding her own app Monkey's Endless Mayhem and I have a background in digital illustration.

My initial thought involved each student letting something go, like stones in a stream. Bella suggested casting spells to make a chimera, as it make the experience more engaging to the target audience.

I created all of the buttons and individual graphics for the chimera's parts in Adobe Illustrator, without any prior sketches.

Bella: I have always enjoyed programming and I wanted to be able to contribute my skills in a meaningful way, no matter the project I was working on. To make createAchimera I used Corona SDK and lua. I completely coded the application from scratch.

Challenges I ran into:

Kathleen: Initially, I hadn't factored how much time designing the buttons would take (i.e. clicked, unclicked, dimmed, home screen button versus buttons in play).

I will plan to include time for button design and more nuanced planning with UX design. Maintaining consistency in dimensions with each chimera puzzle piece was also a challenge that became easier over time.

Bella: I didn't have time or lua experience to make multiple scenes and move between them effectively, so I implemented everything on the same screen. That meant that I had to show and hide objects as needed, as well as make sure I closed all my functions, or else the application wouldn't run.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Kathleen: Designing every piece of the app from scratch in a weekend was satisfying.

Bella:

1. Completely programming a working application in the time allotted.

2. Working on a deadline without getting too overwhelmed.

3. Collaborating as a team and combining both of our ideas into a finished project.

What I learned

Kathleen: Creating placeholder images to provide to the programmer allowed for more time to create more detailed pieces.

Bella: I got a refresher course in lua. I also practiced managing files, programming docs, Google Drive, online help forums, and a simulator at the same time.

What's next for createAchimera

Kathleen: I would be interested in building more options for question customization and expansion packs for chimera parts. Additionally, I would be interested in developing the app into a format for grades 3-5.

Bella: I want to finish it. I would have to completely rewrite it because it's definitely not as efficient or compact as it could be. It will be a lot easier to work on and add things to after that.
