Two Scenario's

Below are two scenario's that use the existing persona's to help guide the design of our board game.

Scenario #1: Mrs. Nugent wants to reward her students for good behavior, when she was out sick. Mrs. Nugent has been trying to find a way for her student to have fun and actually learn something in the process. The next evening,while randomly searching science websites, she sees a board game about nanotechnology. At first, Mrs. Nugent thinks the game might be too complex for her students, she decides to read the caption, explaining the game. Mrs. Nugent then realizes the game is about atoms, molecules and microscopes, and relating them to real world, human sized objects. She imagines how the game can fit nicely into her lesson plans, and decides to order the game!


Scenario #2: Ryan Green arrives at her 3rd class of the day- Science. The teacher informs the class that today, they will be playing a board game. Ryan and the rest of the students get excited, the teacher proceeds to split the children into small groups(OF QUANTITY x?). Ryan ends up in a group with two other children. Ryan doesn't know either of the children well and was kinda bummed out about his group. The three of them start by taking all the contents of the box out and as a class, read the rules aloud. Ryan is really getting into playing the game, she finds herself trying to gather as many atoms as she can to try and build a molecule faster than the other gup members. In order to do this Ryan has to find out what type of molecule she is trying to become by using the microscope, then collects similar atoms that make up her molecule. The group is starting to open up and a little bit of competitive competition has started. The bell then rings and Ryan and her two new friends pack up the game sadly and leave for their next class.

(THE scenarios have a good start. I think we need to be a bit more indepth about how the game actaully works, not fully, for that will take place more with the narrative. together, we should probably figure out how the game is to be played... and what the steps are that take place to engage in such a game/win/what it means... this weekend eh? )
