Board Game Design & 3D Printing
A New Design Lab!
In this design lab, students apply elements and principles of game design to develop and play their very own board games. Students will learn how to 3D print their own game elements, create a theme and structure the rules, and make their design aesthetically pleasing to the players.
Once they design and prototype their board games, we will be testing them out by playing them! In playing the games of others, students will learn how to make their own games more appealing.
Skills: 3D Printing, Game Theory & Strategic Planning, Technical Writing (game overview and rules.
Creativity: Brainstorm fun themes, Create engaging experiences, Game aesthetics
Design Thinking: Design the overall game play, Prototype the board and other game elements, Test out the mechanics of the game by playing, Iterate the game by making it more user-friendly and engaging
