Mentos Canon Design Ideas

Today you will be creating your 3D model of your ideal Mento's Shooter.  But first I want you to get an idea from what other students have created in the past.  Pay close attention to the way they are controlling how the Mento's makes contact with the Diet Soda.

I expect you to have started or possibly completed your own individual idea for the Mento's Shooter.  Before the end of the period you need to have completed the following 3 things.

1.  Brainstormed an idea
2.  Started to build a prototype in Sketchup
3.  Export whatever work you have completed into a 2d graphic
4.  Email the 2D graphic to michaelr@spokaneschools.org
