1. MENDIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL GAME-CON CHALLENGE
TEAM SAVAGE

2. Purpose of Game-Con
Every year, thousands of consumers purchase board games for themselves and their families. Video games are still only 40% of the products purchased in this area.
Game-Con is a special convention where game designers can show off their invention and try to get game companies and publishers to purchase the game and start producing and marketing it.
We are hosting the second annual Mendive Game-Con. You will be working to convince the audience to invest in your game design.

4. THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS AND BOOK

5. THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS AND BOOK
Documentation is key – you need to show your thought and design process.
Each team member keeps their own book.
Embrace the bluesky concept of brainstorming – just keep talking, sketching, documenting.
Iterations – you will have many iterations or ‘trial versions’ before you decide on a final concept and design.
Communicate as a group
Risk, Fail, Risk again.
Your book has many pages for your use. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THEM ALL! YOU CAN ADD MORE!!
