What was Our Prompt

We were told to make a musical installation that could be incorporated into the school entrance and would draw people in. It had to be durable, easily accessible, and  not an annoyance to ongoing classes. 

How Did We Address This

After looking at a few ideas and prototypes, we decided on music box idea that would be played by a bicycle. We had a few idea on how this would work and eventually we came to the conclusion that we would attach a pole going through the box to one of the wheels so when someone peddled the bike it would spin the pipe which had springs with balls on the end which would hit a xylophone inside the box. 

The Process

As we went along building this we realized towards the end that we did not have enough time to make the box be played by a bike. Instead we just tried to add a crank but sadly the crank broke while we were attaching it, and our springs that we ordered to put on the pipe never arrived until class was over.

What We Learned

Something's we learned are how time is one of your biggest constraints. that certain materials have different strengths, and that not every one works at the same pace as you
