Design Project Day 3

1. All of our descriptions, minus one (a story line/theme) match our game of skeeball. Skeeball involves action and competition because you can play against people and it requires a lot of movement. It's very interactive because people are involved when watching and playing. When we build the real game, we will make it colorful and eye-catching, giving it a good design.  
2. The slot where the ball comes out and the edges to keep the ball from falling off the board are really good parts of our model and we're going to keep them. 
3. We need to make more sturdy legs (maybe use a different material) to keep our game from falling over like it did last time. I think with sturdy legs the game could work really well. 


1/2:  

  • Gather materials (cardboard, packaging tape, colored poster paper, strong scissors, glue gun, markers, a small light ball to throw with)
  •  build stronger legs, (made out of pringles cans rapped in cardboard or poster paper) 
  • build the body of the skeeball machine (made out of 2 layers of cardboard and strips for the ball slot) 
  • decorate the legs and body with poster paper and markers 
  • connect the legs to the body (using glue gun)
