Special session:<br>
Scratch + Microsoft Xbox Kinect: A Magical Combination for Teaching Programming: Led by Victor Norman, Calvin College<br>
Scratch programming is a favorite tool to introduce middle-school and high-school students to the basics of programming. Scratch's easy-to-use drag-and-drop programming environment allows students to begin programming games, music videos, stories, etc., within
minutes. The Microsoft Xbox Kinect is a device that recognizes a person's skeleton, and allows the person to "become the controller". Combining the two technologies allows students to quickly build programs like a virtual drum set, an airplane flying game,
a running race, or a dancing game<br>
<br>
In this workshop the participant will learn how to install Scratch, the Xbox Kinect libraries, and the software that integrates the two. The participant will then practice basic Scratch programming, and then learn how to program Scratch when connected to an
Xbox Kinect. Four programming challenges will be given to participants, ranging from easy to difficult.<br>
<br>
Five Microsoft Xbox Kinects will be available for use. Participants will work in teams of 2, 3, or 4. Each team must supply their own computer running Microsoft Windows (preferable Windows 7). All participants will receive a flash drive containing all the
software needed. Maximum class size is 20 students.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!!!!<br>
<br>
I look forward to seeing many of you there!<br>
