Immerse yourself into this dangerous zombie world to save people!
For 3 months, let's enjoy coding online courses and create a coding game!
Purpose
We offer inclusive opportunities for Australian students, with a focus on girls and those in remote areas, to learn STEM, Robotics, Coding, and Construction Engineering. Our aim is to prepare the younger generation for future careers and societal changes.
We provide e-learning courses that teach students how to create coding games. These courses cater to different skill levels, from beginner to advanced, and cover topics such as AI, IoT, and Robotics.
Additionally, students can participate in Robotics and IoT challenges.
(Please note that robots are required for the Robotics Challenge.)

Construction Coding Challenge
Theme: Save the world from the dangerous zombies!
Description
Zombies are spreading rapidly in the world. To respond to this, we need to gather more construction materials and build safe buildings. Additionally, we must create more effective weapons to rescue people from zombies. To do this, we need to consider various methods and make efforts to increase our chances of survival. In the battle against zombies, we need to improve our equipment and strategies, train survivors, and strengthen cooperation by implementing various measures. Furthermore, we need to establish an effective communication system for communication with other survivors and create a network to share the resources and information that survivors need. By doing so, we can effectively defend against zombie attacks and continue our efforts for the survival of humanity…

Essential Elements
- Material collection: The more interesting the enemies or obstacles you create, the higher your score.
- Create a variable that increases each time materials are collected by type. The number of materials may decrease due to obstacles or enemies.
- Code to build various buildings and elements when enough materials are collected.
- Create an engaging story to make the game fun to play.
Evaluation Criteria
Creativity: Deduction for copying other works.
Code: Presence of unnecessary code, absence of duplication, simplicity, and logic.
AI (Artificial Intelligence, Entry Only): If you create a game using the machine learning model below in Entry AI Blocks, you will receive bonus points.
Story: Create an engaging storyline using the narrative arc structure. Choose a free storyline involving zombies to make it fun and captivating.
Design: You have the option to be creative and draw it yourself or use other design tools. Ensure that you optimize the file size to minimize storage usage.
Presentation: In order to adequately explain the game logically, create a video and upload it to YouTube. Afterwards, send the compressed code along with the YouTube link for the presentation.
