> Hello Wendy,  I really like your detailed approach, and it is much more specific than giving students a generic project of a game design.  This very specific projects is exactly what some students need – those who have trouble finding their “feet” in game design.  Is there any chance that you could kindly post the remaining assignments to this project?  Thank you so much.

> The interactive Zoo is a semester long project. Students begin by researching two zoos from somewhere in the U.S. and writing a paper comparing them. Then using these zoos as a model, I assign students into groups of 3-4. Together, they design a zoo and draw a map.
> Each student is responsible for a habitat. In that habitat their animals must perform at the push a button/lever, whatever they decide. They set up an interactive panel in front of the habitat and when the user pushes the button the animals inside perform.
> They also must include amenities such as bathrooms, water fountains, petting zoo, and landscaping, whatever they can think of to make their Zoo the best. The students get quite creative with this.
> The advanced students sometimes have a person that is the user and he/she walks around the zoo. They can enter a letter on the keyboard and the person walks to that particular habitat. Right now my students are in Phase 2: The Map, due tomorrow. Phase Three will be to start building the Zoo World entrance on their jump drives and building each habitat. Those not working on the jump drive are busy “training” their animals to perform. That way they will be ready to add them to the jump drive when the habitat is created and ready to populate (just like a real zoo).
