Promt:

Our prompt was to make a musical insulation in the hallway leading up to the school. This would hopefully make people want to walk alone the hall and be intrigued by all the installations.

How are we addressing it?:

We are making a marble run that encourages people to recycle. We are making the marble run out of recycled materials as well. We are going to make it out of recycled glass bottles and at the end it goes into a recycling bin.

Desc:

The marble run works by a marble is let out at the top then hits recycled glass bottles in a series of boxes to make noises. After that it goes to a conveyer belt where it is scooped up by magnetic 3d printed marble picker upper to be brought back to the top.

Lesson Learned?:

We learned that you have to have realistic expectations. First we started out with an incredibly super mega unrealistic idea. We did not really consider the time and material limitations. Now we have a much more simple and realistic idea that is still as cool.

Next Steps:

Our next steps are to finish the project and install it to the wall by the Auditorium. We plan to drill holes into the brick to put the boxes on.

Outside Presidents:

The Wintergarten project. We got inspiration from the way that the marbles fall onto the keys and make noise. When we made it we put a little twist where it falls onto recycled glass bottle to help encourage people to recycle.
