Marble Maze Madness!

Description

In this class, students will design a marble maze on paper and then figure out how to create and program that maze on a Raspberry Pi computer and a SenseHAT. Once the first marble maze game is running, they will play the game with their classmates. Students will be encouraged to try out different maze ideas by modifying or writing their own Python code.

The on-board sensors on a SenseHAT allow students to monitor pressure, humidity, temperature, color, orientation, and movement. If students complete the marble maze project early, they have the option to create a project using the SenseHat as a weather station. 

Objectives

• Learn to design marble mazes.

• Create at least one marble maze on the Raspberry Pi / SenseHAT.

• Modify their maze to create new challenges.

• Challenge others in the class to successfully complete the maze.

• Learn to use a SenseHAT on a Raspberry Pi.

• Bonus: create a weather station using the Raspberry Pi / SenseHAT.
