Journey to the Center of the Earth

Who wants to venture to the center of the earth? Fifth graders learn about them but we all know that just reading an article may not help them grasp a concept of something they can't touch. Clearly we can't head there on a field trip...What if (the start of every amazing creation)...what if we built it?
Fifth grade thought it was a great idea and their buildings are well underway. They will be using Bloxels as their platform, or program, to make it happen.

"You don't need to understand fancy code and own super expensive computer programs to make video games anymore. All it takes is your Bloxels Gameboard, some blocks and a mobile device and, of course,  your imagination to take the guesswork out of building your own video games!" http://home.bloxelsbuilder.com

The students have been working hard learning the Bloxels program, learning about the layers of the earth and planning out the game.

Bloxels is also a free download for your personal device. Apple iOS   Amazon   Google Play

When the character in the game bursts the white box,
 a secret message will appear.

After creating their game on the plan sheet, the teams will
need to use the blocks to begin making their game.
