Week #9 Modes and Methods

Week #9 arrived and we began to look at the different modes of designing and building something. Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. For Team: Bazynga we chose to do our presentation on Prototype. We discussed what thing we were going to prototype and different ways we could prototype something. We discussed wood, clay, sugar cubes, legos, and other materials. We each picked a material to possibly use. I chose Legos and built a slingshot prototype with my dad, and chose to bring it in to share with my group. We agreed to use it as our model for the presentation. Here is a short video we made by reconstructing the Lego slingshot row by row.
