Help Teens Build Life Size Video Game

Davis, Sami and Matthew are Jr High students and Young Makers who are creating a major project to exhibit at Maker Faire in San Mateo, California.

Flow"¢26 is a life-size game inspired by the app Flow Free. It is a puzzle game where players will have to work together in order to connect their circles while filling up the whole board. They will have to accomplish this while not crossing each other's paths. In order to create a platform that is interactive, we are building tiles that have an Arduino and a load cell in each in order to allow them to communicate with each other and control LEDs within the tile. This ability will allow the tiles to react to a player stepping on it. Tiles send information to each other and to a central laptop.

The kids are learning how to code, how to use Arduino, processing computer language, fabrication skills and budgeting.  Please help them achieve their goal!
