SLJ — Laser Maze Challenge Kick Start — Activity 41

Hello, welcome back to my blog.

In today’s task I made my own laser maze challenge on google drawing. If you’re wondering why I am doing it on google drawing, it is because I had to plan it well it said to think about where I/you could build a laser maze in your garden.

If you want to create this activity, follow the steps and you can also plan your own laser maze challenge and also try it in your backyard too. But if you don’t want to create this activity jump to the bottom to see my design and the example design.

For the create part, I looked at a example of a laser maze made on google drawing. Next I had to think about where I/you could build a laser maze in your garden. Then I had to make a copy of this google draw template to draw my/your laser maze.

Use the line tool, add images to show where you will tie the string or wool and use remove.bg to remove any background of the image.

Lastly and finally for share, I had to download my google drawing as a png and share it on my blog.

I also had to answer — How fast do you think someone could do your laser maze?

Answer :

In the google drawing I wrote 4 minutes, but if they are speedy they can do 3 minutes or maybe 2. If they are slow I would say a 4 or 5.

Here is my Laser Maze Kick start activity
