Duration |
10 classes (15.0 hours) |

Synopsis |
Students bring together all the skills they have learned to produce a culturally relevant collaborative virtual world. |
|
Description of Class |
The students plan and create an immersive environment. Incorporating their own experiences with the perspectives gleaned from instructors and guest lecturers, they come up with a theme, produce a layout, and divide up work tasks. They use Corel Painter to produce 2D images and animations, use Maya to produce static and animated 3D models, and work in the field and in a sound studio to capture and process audio clips. The students create a description file which specified the layout of the objects in the world. The students work closely with the instructors to iteratively incorporate the various elements into the world. |
|
Primary Educational Objective |
Experience working on a large project which integrates and reinforces the separate elements they have learned during the year. |
|
Additional Concepts and Skills |
Demonstrate an understanding of trig functions as circular functions Apply trig functions to solve physical problems Demonstrate understanding of the construction of the coordinate plane Use basic geometric ideas in the context of the Euclidean Plane Describe the effect of rigid motions on figures in the coordinate plane Use a variety of computational models (e.g. mental arithmetic, paper and pencil, technological tools) Represent and analyze relationships using written and verbal expressions, tables, equations, and graphs Know that science plays a role in many different kinds of careers Understand the scientific foundations of common technologies Analyze the impact of digital technologies |
