examples of swimgames start at 0:40

The Dutch news agency Hart van Nederland (Heart of Holland) picked up on the swim games project. Watch the news item here

We have decided to organize a market on Friday 21 September 2012. At 13:00 h visistors are welcome to come visit and look at the games. Around 13:15 h Menno will explain somethings about the course we followed and what we did in general. After this every group will hold a 15 second pitch for the audience, then there will be a market for the audience to walk through. A few people will come in the morning to setup the general items.

Till then, Nick Francken

With the passing user test on Thursday, 13 September 2012, some problems have surfaced. The problems mainly deal with the use of electricity. Also we have been given the number of users for the next test, there will be 38 children that will test our game. Because the pool we test in is fairly small we have devised a variation on the existing plan. Which is as followed:

Placement: 1 – WaterFeud, 2 – Treasure Race, 3 – Photo Drop, 4 – Splash, 5 – Swimitate, 6 – Photo Finish, 7 – Water Draw. Places 8/9 is a resting stop for the children. The ROC students will keep them busy there. There is a chance that the places 8/9 won’t be availeble. In this case there will be bigger groups of children.

The groups that require power are 3, 4, 5, 6. We looked at solutions with Rob Tieben and found one. A group of people will go to the Tongelreep a little sooner on the day of the final test and place power strips in a safe way and make them waterproof.

Students from Basischool Theresia and St Joris College will participate in the last user test.
