Meet me at the carnival


Roll up! Rollup! It's carnival time at Invention Squad. What better way to beat off the winter blues than to design a great fair game and play it with your friends? This was definitely the funnest, wackiest session yet. We challenged the kids to make a transportable/foldable set-up and to test it by playing it with their friends and parents. This is cardboard prototyping and design by play- a natural for kid experimenters.


This design had a moving element. The girls came up with a spinning ball trap, with cups attached to a central cylinder.



Testing time. This game is trickier than it looks.





This two person game is built like a tray to be carried around one person's neck. Players face one another and compete to get balls into the suspended cups.


               
  This team decided to go big and built a personal pool table. Loads of action, lots of laughs.
