Apps used to create our Virtual reality(VR)
Which Google Cardboard apps should I use?Here are a few apps that work well with Google Cardboard. Although it is designed for Android devices, it can also be used with a select few iOS apps.
The North Face Climb: This app takes Google Cardboard users to Yosemite National Park. It lets students take a tour of the outdoors from an awe-inspiring outdoor view.
Lanterns for Google Cardboard: With this app students can view a simulation of the Lantern Festival. Celebrated in many countries including Singapore and China, it’s a neat virtual field trip.
Cardboard: This preview app shows off some of the great features of Google Cardboard. Users can connect with YouTube, Google Earth, and even take a tour of Versailles.
Dive City Rollercoaster: Designed for iOS devices, this app takes users on a rollercoaster ride. It’s a great example for students exploring physics concepts.
How could you use this device with your students?

Here is your link to the prototype you are making
This is your next mission, make sure you use your lab book to record materials and observations. We will use materials in session, but if want to start at home by all means start but prepare yourself to present your work.

Meetings
Septemeber 23, 2015
We meet about our own competition that we will compete within each other in December. The date will be announced later.
We talked about our competition with Vanston with the robots
Next meeting you will have the our blue prints and materials pages ready for examination for the competition
and we will begin coding
Our Next Meeting will be Oct. 7,2015

Innovation Connection Competition
This competition is inpired by the University of Texas at Arlington Innovation Connection Competition.
The team-based competition will be open to McDonald Middle School Innovation Connection teams. The teams will be challenged to develop bold and revolutionary innovations using the limited resources (that will be team provided) as well as their creativity, knowledge, skills, and time. A reward for first and second places will soon be announced.
Challenge: You and your team are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., on a mission to find and destroy the desert base for HYDRA (SHIELD's nemesis organization). HYDRA monitors SHIELD communications from this base. You've identified the location of the base, but before you destroy it, you must determine how HYDRA is monitoring SHIELD communications. Your miniature flying drones won't work for this mission because the surrounding area (desert) is so barren that the drones will be easily spotted and destroyed, giving away your presence in the area. In order to scope out the HYDRA base, you must create a small vehicle that will traverse a distance of at least a mile and climb sand dunes that are between your operating base and the HYDRA base.
Purpose: your mission is to build a prototype that will climb an obstacle that is 2 feet high with an incline of 30% and that will traverse a distance of 25 feet.
Criteria:

Purpose: your mission is to build a prototype that will climb an obstacle that is 2 feet high with an incline of 30% and that will traverse a distance of 25 feet.
Criteria:
- To fuel your prototype, you may use any means to propel your vehicle forward, except batteries and combustible products (e.g., you may use mentos and diet coke, rubber bands, gravity storage; your vehicle may not expel any fluids or combustible gases into the environment and its footprint must be contained within the track).
- You must present a two-minute pitch regarding why your vehicle should be the one chosen by SHIELD to incorporate into its arsenal of tools for fighting the evil HYDRA. You must also provide a detailed budget describing the materials used and the cost for materials for producing your prototype. Your team may spend no more than $40 to build the prototype. Points will be awarded for management of costs - i.e., the less spent, the more points your team will receive.
- Rules:
1. Each vehicle must be between 4 in and 8 in.
2. No existing vehicle design is allowed.
- Rubric:
20% design/aesthetics from a panel of judges
20% distance traveled over land
20% ability to climb obstacle
20% efficiency of design
20% pitch
- Judging criteria:
1. Project concept - what was the motivation behind the project and what were the aims? These should be defined by the teams at the beginning of the projects and presented with the project on the competition day.
2. Project process - How well did you plan and organize your work? What sort of experiments and research did you do? Were you innovative or creative in your approach?
3. Project Outcome - How well did your project achieve its aims?
4. Use of Materials - How efficient was your team in selecting and using materials? Points scored for good cost management.
5. Personal skills - How well did you/the team deal with any problems or challenges? Teams should present "lessons learned" with the project on competition day. How well do you communicate your project?
