1st
Go to the resources tab of this activity and learn about quick prototyping.
2nd
Create a blueprint of your design, a drawing that will help you construct your structure.
At the end you need to have have done the following:
- Sketched your main playing ground (board, stage...)
- Sketched your main game components (dice, counters, tokens, coins, figures, meeples, standees, cards)
- Written game instructions with main rule to win the game.
3rd
Students will work together to create a quick scale model prototype. Use low fidelity materials such as cardboard, paper, tape, and wire for your first prototypes. Remember these are not supposed to ~look good~ but rather be able to explain your concepts and ideas.
DELIVERABLES:
Take a photo of the game you recreated out of paper/cardboard
Students Examples
Recreating Pin Ball
Prompt
Now that you’ve completed brainstorming, selected an idea that’s interesting to you, and been grouped into a project team, you will make a series of quick and simple prototypes that explore the idea you selected from brainstorming.
Deliverables
Pictures of your prototypes with a concept statement
