Labyrinth

Labyrinth, a game of physical skill, consists of a box with a maze on top with holes, and a steel marble. The object of the game is to tilt the game board to guide the marble to the end of the maze, without letting it fall into any of the holes.

In this lesson, students will design and print their own labyrinth game. While the project is intended to be a single lesson with 3D printing following the lesson, the project can be extended to a second lesson by either testing the printed designs and suggesting future improvements or creating a base for their game board.
