Customer Requirements/Product Selection

Target audience: Children ages 10+ We choose our product because

• Of its functionality as a learning game that is fun and gender neutral.
• It is a unique prototype, that with work,

could function as a real toy.

Conceptual Design

• STEM trivia game
• Arduino for score keeping and

category selection

• Arduino cased in a box with
• nly the LCD and buttons

visible

• Four spaces for the stacks of

cards attached to the box

• We reached the initial design

by voting and discussing each component of the design

Actual Design

• Kept the original idea of how the

Arduino would be used

• Redesigned the case so that the

Arduino is completely visible

○ The LCD and buttons had to be directly on the breadboard

• Changed the way stacks of cards

would be divided

○ Fit our new case for the Arduino better

Customer Feedback and Results

• We were successfully able to prototype our design into a functioning

STEM game.

• “Great prototype design!”
• “I can’t wait to see how it turns out!”
• “I love it!”
• “If this were sold in stores, I would definitely buy it for my students at

school!”

Cost and Time Estimates

Material list, including cost and sources for each material

■ Arduino, $15.56 from Amazon ■ Three Buttons, 20 cents each from Amazon ■ Wires, $5.45 from Amazon ■ LCD Display, $5.43 from Crystalfontz America Inc. ■ Wood, $6.75 from Home Depot ■ Paper, $5.48 from Walmart ■ Wood Paint, $4.99 10-pack from Target ■ Glue, $1.39 from Walmart

Brief Summary/Conclusions

• For our project we made a trivia game for kids ages 10+ that focused on

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

• We started our design with an arduino to keep score while using cards for

the actual questions.

• Our design ended up featuring most of what we originally planned with a

few small changes in the process, for example the way we held the cards and having the arduino be open.

• All in all, this prototype was relatively cheap and received great feedback.
• Overall this is prototype accomplished our goals of being a fun,

educational game/toy for kids.
