Engineering a

Can you, as a class, create a mini mini golf course played in a box, with a marble and your own engineered golf club?

Each team will create one hole

Constraints

• 1 - 2 cardboard boxes or lids must be used
• Have a goal where the golf ball is to end to complete the hole
• Team name somewhere labeled on the hole that is visible

Constraints continued

• Must be able to stand on its own
• Must be playable
• Make the course on top of the box or raised up so the "ball" can drop through
• Each hole must be a polygon
• Each hole must have one hazard that is a triangle

Constraints continued again

• have one hazard that is a quadilateral
• include one obtuse and one acute triangle
• include one rectangular tee box that is 18 square centimeter

Materials

• tape (fun duct tape), glue, boxes
• construction paper
• tissue paper
• pipe cleaners
• felt
• blocks (the ones we used for simple machines)

Materials - continued

• play doh
• foam squares
• Legos
• Anything else to make your hole innovative and creative.

We need a 9-hole course so we need to work out the groups for that and then choose your hole number.
