Customer Feedback and Results Overall the idea was well liked Some of the questions were too hard for high school students Specifically, the Calculus II questions
Cost and Time Estimates Prototyping Costs: $20.51 Design Time: 34 hours Material Cost for 1000 Units: $20,400 Retail Price for 1 unit: $28.00
Conclusions An equation sheet should be added Good idea for a game
