What's the prompt?

Our prompt was to create a musical intervention that compels people to come into our school. Our main goal was to create a fun interactive musical instrument that everyone can play.

How did we address the prompt?

We decided to make a interactive marble run that uses recycled materials to make music. One of the biggest goals for us was to create a funcional marble run that is easy and fun for everyone.

How is it played?

Our marble run is built on a brick wall, the marble rolls down through to box and hits the various recycled bottles as it falls. This creates a noise which is different for each because of different bottles sizes and the speed the marble is moving.

What did we learn?

One of the main things that I learned was that you have to be able to keep a level head and stay on task. Because once you allow yourself to get distracted by little things you don't move anywhere with your project.

Next steps?

Our next step is to continue working on the project and work out all of the unfinished components of our project, and hopefully finish the project in time for next school year.
