Statement

The inspiration behind this project was to create a fun interactive "toy" for people to be distracted by while studying to essentially make the room "unusable" for its purpose. We wanted to make our version of the Newton's Cradle distracting enough so those who attempt to study in that room are unable to focus on what they are doing. We wanted to create this because essentially we wanted to create a fun stress relieving environment where most would consider it to be quite the opposite. We believe that most would agree that no one looks forward to going to a study room to spend hours either working on homework or cramming for an exam, so we wanted to create a whole new emotional response to this environment to help relieve some of the stress that comes with being a student at CMU.
