Overview - Objectives: The first Capstone Design Project concerning the game/therapy board called “Stackable 3D Tic Tac Toe”, S3DTTT, object summary is for adding redesign and exploring the best functional ways of the multiple facets of the three different versions of the game/therapy board. The three different versions are as follows: [1.] The original board, 3 by 3 bolts, [2.] The “Mega Board, 5 by 5 bolts, [3.] The “Semi Mega Board, 5 by 4 bolts. There is also the exciting and interesting option of the combination of the three different versions. These combination configurations in my patent which is pending, are called “entire collective” game/therapy boards. Examples of the multiple facets are as follows: [A.] The board being used as a therapy board using many different accessories to develop pinch strength such as our fingers alone, fingers using tweezers and other therapy hand exercise tools. [B.] The Board being used as a “quick learn” but “high” level strategy game that brings fun and enjoyment to those that play as S3DTTT is a “winner” of a game! Metaphorically speaking, there seems to be a strong chemical double bond between S3DTTT being a game and a therapy board. The strong double bond is not from polarity or electron configuration but from functionality, functioning as both a game and a therapy board! I really feel that there is so much help, healing and fun that can come from S3DTTT! Deliverables: 1. The extended design of the “Size” of “Stackable 3D Tic Tac Toe”, S3DTTT. What would be the most popular and functional smaller size? 2. The extended design of different “materials” that are used in the construction of the game/therapy board. In addition, and as listed in the Objectives section, the combination configurations called “entire collective” game/therapy boards, needs a docking mechanism designed to lock the different version boards of S3DTTT in a straight line through the connected boards for continuous play. 3. Startup and advancement of writing different sections of a therapy textbook for the therapy board of “Stackable 3D Tic Tac Toe”. 4. Design how to setup tournament play and schedules using S3DTTT as a game with first, second, and third place trophies.
