Summary:

Students create their own digital version of a test-your-strength game, known as carnival hammer game or high striker. They use motion (acceleration) sensors to measure force and understand the underlying physical principles.

Objective:

• Students will be able to:
• Understand how acceleration relates to force
• Implement a program to process sensor data
• Design an engaging user interface (UI)
• Design a device with both hardware and software
• Choose methods for processing data
• Iterate and improve design solutions
• Improve problem-solving and communication skills

Required Prior Knowledge:

Familiarity with the concept of acceleration is helpful.
