STEMJAM - Project

The aim of the activity is to detect and compare the distance between a person and a screen by programming the ultrasonic sensor. There will occur two different responses to a short approach: the mBot will perform light and sound effects while the screen will show a message and end the running game.

The activity will be developed as follows:

1. A student has created a videogame using scratch and now is playing with it.







2. Little by little, this student approaches to the screen. If he/she arrives to a distance between 40 and 25 cm to the screen, the mBot will warn about this short distance by performing "First Warning” routine.







3. If the student ignores the first warning and approaching to the screen (to a distance smaller than 25 cm), the mBot will warn about it by performing "Final Warning” routine and stopping the game.

This Final Warning will contain:

• Sound and light effects performed in a higher tone and speed.


• An angry face showed in the LED matrix.


• The following warning messages appearing on the laptop screen: "You are TOO CLOSE to the screen” MOVE BACK!!”.


• A change of scenario for the game.
