Molokai Service Project Part 3

Dr. Peter wins the week for buying the Nintendo Labo! Dr. Peter, Keahe, my son, and I met at UH to put it together and see if it would work for the workshop.

I provided the Switch to play the created cardboard toys that interacted with the game. We wanted the kids to be able to see where computer science is going and the Switch has the capability to code in the workshop area that enables them to build their own projects from cardboard and code actions to make the items move with the controllers. It’s actually really neat and a bit involved. It took many hands to build the cardboard piano and several hours. 

I also created foam notecards as a tangible representation of the codes that the kids could use to make us move in different directions when they held them up in the air during the workshop. Take a look at what it looks like!
