Hello, I'm Jenny, you are live with CBBC.

0:00:020:00:04

This is Newsround and here's what's coming up:

0:00:040:00:06

The bikers taking on the Utah Mountains.

0:00:060:00:11

And how computer games are bringing Max and his friends together.

0:00:110:00:18

OK, let's start with a quick Premier League round up.

0:00:240:00:27

Chelsea beat current champions, Leicester, 3-0, at Stamford Bridge.

0:00:270:00:35

While Manchester City missed two penalties to draw with Everton 1-1

0:00:350:00:38

at the Etihad Stadium.

0:00:380:00:40

And Hull's new head coach Mike Phelan had a disappointing

0:00:400:00:42

match as the Tigers were thrashed 6-1 by Bournemouth.

0:00:420:00:49

Cerebral Palsy is a disorder that affects people in different ways.

0:00:490:00:53

12-year-old Max, who lives in Australia, is one of them

0:00:530:00:55

but thanks to some new technology, he and his classmates have found

0:00:550:00:58

new ways of having fun together.

0:00:580:01:04

Meet Max.

0:01:040:01:05

He loves school and hanging out with his mates.

0:01:050:01:07

Max has trouble speaking because he has cerebral palsy,

0:01:070:01:11

a condition that means his brain has trouble communicating

0:01:110:01:13

with his muscles.

0:01:130:01:15

Where is Mr Jessett?

0:01:150:01:17

But recently a piece of technology called Compass has meant Max can now

0:01:170:01:21

communicate by himself.

0:01:210:01:24

Compass is great and I can communicate independently.

0:01:240:01:28

What's more, it's helped him get closer to his classmates

0:01:280:01:30

because they've been able to make games that he can play on it.

0:01:300:01:37

That's it, where the red dot is.

0:01:370:01:39

Well done.

0:01:390:01:40

Our teacher said that we should make a game for Max and then it kind

0:01:400:01:43

of just went from there.

0:01:430:01:44

We all thought of our own ideas and I went with the maze and one

0:01:440:01:48

of my other friends, he went with a car racing game.

0:01:480:01:51

They use coding and programmes like this to create all

0:01:510:01:54

the different parts of the game.

0:01:540:01:56

These games, he smiles a lot when he plays them because he really

0:01:560:01:59

enjoys being able to play games with the eye gaze instead of just

0:01:590:02:03

watching someone else play them.

0:02:030:02:08

All right, Max, the point of this game is to help you strengthen your

0:02:080:02:11

eye gaze for getting around the track.

0:02:110:02:13

Thanks to the games, Max has come away with new friends.

0:02:130:02:16

When I first met Max, I didn't really know how

0:02:160:02:18

to interact with him

0:02:180:02:19

but then when I started making this, I interacted a lot more

0:02:190:02:22

with him and now me and Max have a good friendship now.

0:02:220:02:26

They also entered the games they designed into a technology

0:02:260:02:31

competition and came a brilliant second place.

0:02:310:02:33

But they say they're just glad Max has a new way to have

0:02:330:02:36

fun with his friends.

0:02:360:02:41

Finally, how about this for a mountain biking course?

0:02:410:02:43

Bikers took to the Utah Mountains in the United States

0:02:430:02:45

in the 11th running of the Red Bull Rampage event.

0:02:450:02:48

The winner was Brandon Semenuk from Canada who flew into first

0:02:480:02:55

That's all from me, Newsround's back just after 12.

0:02:550:02:57

Bye.
