SENSATION STATION: MUSICAL & COORDINATION GAME
The therapists at Boulder Community Health are looking for a new piece of equipment that will allow kids to improve coordination and motor skills while also engaging them with lights and sounds. Sensation Station was tasked to build something that would accomplish what the therapists had in mind. The team created an interactive board with positive feedback. When a light would turn on, the user would press the button, a tone would play, and another light would turn on. After the user would press all the buttons the game would end with the completion of the notes made in a simple song. The game has a few different songs programmed into it with different difficulties.
