  • How does the Sound Bowknot help people communicate? Does it work like a phone, a walkie-talkie, or something different?
  • Who would use this device? Is it for kids, adults, or people in specific situations, like students in a classroom or family members at a distance?
  • What kind of sounds can it change or make? Does it make your voice sound different, or can it play recorded sounds?what technology would go into the bowknot. For example, does it have a speaker, microphone, or Bluetooth to connect to other devices?
  • what unique functions it might have beyond regular communication devices. For example:
    • Could it translate languages in real-time?
    • Could it modulate sounds or help people communicate in noisy environments?
    • Could it be voice-activated or use gesture control?

How do you imagine it would look and feel to wear? Since it's a bow, would it clip to clothes, or could it be part of a wearable accessory like a headband or collar?

What materials could be used to make a prototype? For example, cardboard and foil to represent the speaker, and markers to show buttons.

Ideas for Prototyping

  • Use simple materials like cardboard, paper, and markers to create the bow shape.
  • Draw buttons or icons to represent different features (e.g., a button for volume control or voice change).
  • If possible, they could add a small speaker or sound module (like from a toy) to demonstrate the idea of sound change.
