Dorm Chess Set

Challenge

College students came together to play a game of wizard chess with students as pieces, but then wanted pieces to be more permanent after the students went back to class.

Solution

I designed early prototypes out of duct tape and cardboard, then a friend and I moved on to design chess pieces in CAD software and build them out of wood. We organized many people from the dorm for construction and painting.

Tools

SketchUp, wood shop
