14-20 year olds deserve a game that allows
them have fun and walk on water.
Our group was able to make this game by
outlining certain restraints.
Our device was built keeping our
stakeholders needs in mind.
There were certain specifications we had to
take into account when designing.
We brainstormed several ideas we thought
could work.
Fig. 1. Initial idea
Fig. 2. Second design
Fig. 3. More detailed design of
initial idea
We evaluated all of them and took the best
parts from each one.
The calculations for buoyancy and depth it
would sink were done
Our device had 3 main subsystems.
Flotation system (foam tubes)
Support system (pvc pipe)
Mobility system (fins and string)

We took into account all of our calculations
and research to come up with our final design.

AFTER TESTING:
To sum it up, this is why our project may not
fail tomorrow.
In order to keep on schedule we created a
Gantt Chart which included all our deadlines.
