~Unknown
Design
and
construct
a
working
circuit
that
responds
to
user
input.
The
circuit
may
perform
a
utilitarian
task
or
be
embedded
into
an
artwork.
Materials
available:
LittleBits,
MakeyMakey
boards,
LEDs,
wires,
metal
tape,
batteries,
conductive
thread,
conductive
fabric,
conductive
paint,
art
supplies
In
addition
to
the
circuit,
your
group
will
also
submit
an
accompanying
physics/process
component.
This
component
may
be
in
written,
audio,
or
video
form.
Give
a
brief
overview
of
the
components
used
in
the
circuit
and
how
they
interact
with
each
other.
o What
is
the
power
source?
o Is
it
in
series
or
parallel?
Why
or
why
not?
o Why
is
your
circuit
connected
the
way
that
it
is?
o Does
the
order
of
components
matter?
o How
does
the
user
open/close
the
circuit?
Explain
your
process.
o How
did
you
decide
what
to
do?
o What
are
some
challenges
you
encountered?
o How
did
you
overcome
those
challenges?
o What
was
the
most
exciting
moment
in
your
work?
o What
roles
did
you
each
take
in
the
process?
o What
would
you
change
in
your
next
design?
Degree
of
difficulty
and
quality
of
execution
will
also
be
evaluated.
If
your
circuit
is
simple,
make
sure
that
your
execution
and
your
physics/process
component
are
exceptional.

An
ideal
artistic
director
is
an
individual
who
enjoys
the
freedom
of
artistic
pursuits.
Technical
Director
The
primary
responsibility
of
the
technical
director
is
to
ensure
that
the
code
is
resulting
in
the
actions
of
interest
to
the
group.
They
should
be
comfortable
navigating
computer
programs
and
be
willing
to
use
the
web-based
resources
to
help
the
progress
of
the
team.
The
most
important
character
traits
of
successful
technical
directors
are
resilience
and
determination.
Project
Portfolio
Throughout
the
duration
of
the
module,
each
team
will
maintain
a
project
portfolio
in
the
classroom.
The
portfolio
should
contain
the
following
items:
Team
Contract
o The
group
contract
is
a
document
each
team
will
create
together.
It
should
include
the
following
information:
Team

plan
for
resolving
conflict
Project
Concept
Work
o Both
the
Artistic
Director
and
the
Technical
Director
should
lead
this
work
o A

description
of
your
game
o Brief
descriptions
of
each
of
the
five
elements
of
the
game
o A

Manager
o A
basic
outline
of
what
and
when
tasks
are
being
accomplished
by
each
team
member
o This
is
fluid
and
can
change
as
the
work
progresses
Project
Journal
o This
component
is
the
primary
responsibility
of
the
Communications
Manager.
o This

Glider
Challenge
Design,
construct,
and
fly
a
glider
out
of
balsa
wood
that
will
fly
the
farthest
horizontal
distance.
In
addition
to
the
glider,
your
group
will
also
submit
an
accompanying
physics/process
component.
This
component
may
be
in
written,
audio,
video
form.
Give
a
brief
overview
of
the
basic
forces
acting
on
a
glider.

Newtons
Laws
are
seen
in
the
flight
of
a
glider.
Discuss
the
design
features
of
your
glider
that
assist
in
achieving
a
longer
range.
Include
all
