Growth Mindset - learning Smarter

-

 One thing that the video confirmed for that I  already knew to be true was that your brain grows when "you get a question wrong or when you struggle".

One thing that I learned that I  didn't  know before  was  that if kids are praised for a certain topic they don't want a challenge afterwards and they don't like to work hard on something.

One new thing that I'm curious to explore is more of Dweck's research in relation to growth mindset in school. I plan on doing it by looking up her research on the internet.

I made the basic controls of going left and right and jumping, I have set a decent amount of speed for the block so that it doesn’t move to slow or fast. When I start to develop the game more, I hope to implement some other types of movement like climbing and crunching.   From making this prototype I have learned more skills on how to use unity to make the 2d platformer game.

Game Vision Statement

  Source : Red Blue Games The name of my game is Sliver sky it’s an endless-action fast-paced 2D game designed to be made for pc and mobile devices. The elements of the game are dodging erratic objects, powerups to give you a hand and compelling music.

And there will be obstacles on the ground that randomly pop out that can stop your movement, which can lead to you losing the game.  You can collect...
