Last week our course travelled to Magdeburg for the 2011 GIDE International event. A number of students from the seven participating countries (Scotland, England, Slovenia, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Germany) all attended, and we were put into groups with students from these countries.
Our group went to visit "Experimentelle Fabrik" in Magdeburg, which is a development and research centre which tests products for the 'CE' mark.
"The main project of the Experimental Factory integrates several individual projects which research the development, production, experiments and tests of new innovative products in the field of mechanical engineering. "
We were then asked to design and make a game. After mind mapping in our groups, we came to the idea of 'stepping stones'. We split into smaller groups and each created out own 'stepping stone', before linking them all together to create an obstacle course-like game.
The game was created to be played against another person, with each player having a 'jumping board', which they used to jump from one obstacle to another. At each obstacle the player had to complete the task, pick up a cube from the other end, and then go back through the obstacle before moving onto the next one. The player who collects all four cubes first wins.
