Design project-day 3

 What are the most powerful ideas in your model that you want to keep?
The descriptions we had to match our "fun game" are true for our current game. It is fun entertaining and also lures you in. It is a fun game. 
What are the things you can leave off to simplify the game?
By having a more accurate sketch that is planned out in a more organized fashion. 
 What supplies do you need besides cardboard, tape, scissors? Who will bring those?


  • Get springs for the base of the boxes. (Mathias)
  • Get tubes for the barriers for the balls. (Mathias)
  • Get wood for barriers. (Willy)
  • Get wood for a base. (Willy)
  • Bring a silicon gun. (Ana Maria) 
  • Bring cardboard box. (Ana Maria) 
What needs to be done to make the model, step by step, who will do each?

  • Bring all the materials to class. 
  • Take the wood and glue the springs to the base, then connect it to the wood on the top, that is combined with the cardboard. 
  • Then paste the barriers on to the wood. 
  • Glue tubes and make sure the machine functions.

this is a labyrinth which you use by to axis, you have to put in a marble and guided threw the maze avoiding the falls or pits. You can take the maze out to put in a different difficulty  

We will do a labyrinth which will have two floors with axis handles to move it to avoid the wholes, when getting to the end of the first floor then you go in the whole and it takes the marble to the second floor

We could also do to labyrinths beside each other so that it's a race against some one else.

Design project-day 2

William's drawing--weakness: to complicated to make-strength: it shows the inside and the outside of the labyrinth
My drawing--weakness: shows only one part of the labyrinth-strength- its easy to make, and is a challenge for the player
Anas drawing--weakness: to difficult to play and very dificult to make, very dificult.-strength- very detailed
What needs to be added-the outside part how the finish product will look like
Details that  will be added|

This game is designed for Elementary School students, 

Things that are good about this project:
Very fun
Look entertaining
People will be intrigued into playing it. 

Things that were not so good about the project.
The age group should probably be middle school students since it is very complicated.
If you still want it to be the same age group make it less complicated.
