Test, Refine, and Share

Summary

Students will develop experience with a listening-focused feedback cycle.
Students are able to refine their design based on feedback.
Students will craft a distribution/publication plan that would put their product into the hands of users.

Pair up with a partner
Follow the Feedback Cycle to test each others' games and give/receive feedback
Remember to be respectful and keep your feedback constructive
When giving feedback, think about these questions:
- Does the game work as expected? Are there bugs? Is it incomplete?
- Does it tie into the SDG theme well?
- Is it fun?
- What could the game creator do to make it better?

Spend the rest of this class period to fixing your bugs, and implementing the feedback you heard from your peers

For homework, I want you to share your game with people outside of this classroom. Could be family, friends, or even better, people in your target audience
Observe (don’t interfere) and see if they:
- Know how to play (without explanations from you)
- Understood how the game aligned with your SDG
- Had fun
- Would recommend the game to others
And think about whether your game had desired impact on the SDG that you wanted

One of the most important parts of both the design thinking process and service learning is the sharing of your ideas
How can your game reach the most people?
Consider what kind of partnership you might want? i.e. local food bank
What media or channels to spread awareness? (social media campaign)
Will you need to host a webpage that people can access?
Will you distribute the app on an app store or via another source like MakeCode Forums?
Consider some options for posting your game:
- MakeCode Forum
- GitHub Pages
- Share to Social Media
- Embed into a web page or blog
- Email share link
- Print QR Code
