2. Customer Requirements, Product Selection, Target Audience
Design and build a prototype of a child’s toy
STEM related
High schooler interested in pursuing a major in engineering
Fun
Educational and beneficial towards preparing high schoolers for majoring in a STEM degree
A trivia game worked best for these goals

3. Conceptual Design Similar to ”Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader?”
STEM related
Topics include: Calculus I & II, General Chemistry, Physics- Mechanics, Basic Math- trigonometry, geometry, algebra, vectors, components, unit circle
Material you should know in high school, need to know coming into college, and/or material you will learn your freshman year of college majoring in engineering
Goals
to be reflective of first year engineering material
To cover previously learned information and to make the player learn some new material

4. Conceptual Design Game Board
Money board like in ”Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader?”
Equation Sheet
Unit Circle
Question Cards
Game Pieces
Advantage Pieces
Periodic Table

5. Final Design Game Board- Unit Circle
“GPA Board”- how you win or lose the game
Game Pieces to move around on the game board
Advantage Pieces- copy, peek, save
112 Question Cards
Calculus, Chemistry, Physics- Mechanics, Basic Math
Periodic Table

6. So you Think you Wanna be an Engineer?
In order to reflect necessary academic information for a first year engineering student learned in high school combined with some college applications and things learned in college, we built a game.
Educational
Fun
STEM related
Inspired by “Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader?”

7. Marketing Video

8. 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

9. 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

10. Conclusions
An equation sheet should be added
Good idea for a game
